About Georgia Alliance for Breast Cancer F/K/A It's the Journey
Georgia Alliance for Breast Cancer F/k/a It's the Journey centers its grantmaking on breast cancer screening access, early detection, diagnostic services, and patient support for Georgians affected by breast cancer. Recent awards show a clear pattern of backing local health systems, cancer coalitions, and community providers that work across the breast health continuum. The largest grant in the recent list, $65,000 to East Georgia Cancer Coalition Inc in Athens, points to support for regional cancer outreach, while $60,000 to Northside Hospital Inside Metro-Atlanta in Atlanta shows investment in major clinical providers as well. The foundation also funds organizations serving patients beyond the clinic, including TurningPoint Breast Cancer Rehabilitation, The Cancer Foundation, and Mercy Care Foundation Inc. Its stated mission is to engage with Georgia’s breast cancer community to increase access to care and reduce disparities in cancer outcomes, and the recent grants align with that emphasis on direct service, education, and support. The mix of hospitals, coalitions, and community organizations suggests a funder focused on practical access points rather than a single service model.
