SERVICE LOCATIONS Maine Cancer Foundation serves all 16 counties in Maine. Maine Cancer Foundation 2020 GOALS Maine Cancer Foundation (MCF) leads a statewide endeavor to foster and grow the most promising and effective work to reduce cancer incidence and mortality in Maine through grant-based financial support and coalition building. Since 2015 we have been engaged in our Challenge Cancer 2020 Initiative to target our grantmaking to issues of greatest need. We will award $15 million in grants to Maine communities and organizations from York to Fort Kent and everywhere in between. Our work centers on these three pillars: f CANCER PREVENTION: We know the best way to beat cancer is to prevent it from occurring. MCF supports statewide prevention efforts, focusing on smok- ing, healthy lifestyles, and preventable care to prevent cancer from occurring. f EARLY DETECTION and SCREENING: We know finding cancer early, when it's most treatable and beatable, saves lives. MCF supports programs to improve and increase early detection and screening efforts. f IMPROVE PATIENT OUTCOMES: We believe every Mainer deserves access to the best possible care, regardless of income or geography. MCF supports programs to improve cancer patient support, provide patient navi- gation, and increase access to transportation to cancer care. In addition, MCF aims to increase collaboration among organizations and improve cancer-related systems across Maine. Serving as the backbone for Maine's Impact Cancer Network (MICN), a statewide cancer coalition, MCF contributes funding, resources and administrative support to help foster com- munity engagement and expand the coalition's active membership.
