Oncology and Hematology Community Grants Program
Gilead/Kite Canada’s Oncology & Hematology Community Grants program aims to address inequity in cancer care, increase patient education and literacy, and improve experiences of underserved communities across Canada. The ambition of this program is to support new, or expand existing best-practices projects, with the goal of creating a more accessible and equitable cancer care system in Canada.

- Racialized communities and Indigenous groups
- LGBTQIA+ communities
- Migrant communities
- People with physical or learning disabilities
- Younger or older groups
Further information on the eligibility criteria can be found in the Funding Opportunity Announcement.
