Required next actionMonitor CHFS/BCTF for an authoritative match/cost-share clarification or amendment. The live FY28 application now verifies current budget categories, prohibited costs, narrative requirements, attachments, and online submission. Once match/cost-share is authoritatively resolved, identify a qualifying Kentucky applicant, confirm required virtual-meeting attendance, and clear verified Contact, Email_Opt_Out, permanent-bounce, CRM/queue, authoritative send-history, and cross-lane deduplication gates before any ORIGINAL outreach.
Broad Eligibility
Kentucky not-for-profit entities, educational institutions, and governmental agencies, including local health departments, pursuing breast-cancer research, education, treatment, screening, or awareness work. Preference is given to underserved populations and projects linking individuals to cancer screening services. Applicants must attend one mandatory registered virtual meeting before completing the application.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 92/100. N9+ Fit 35/100 conditional. QC Healthcare Fit 82/100 conditional. The live FY28 application now verifies an Equipment budget category plus direct breast-cancer research, education, treatment, screening, and awareness purposes, strengthening conditional healthcare project fit. Equipment still must be specifically justified and cost-supported, and N9+ must not be forced into an unsuitable project. Applicant-specific ORIGINAL outreach remains fail-closed because the controlling FY28 page and live application do not state an applicant match/cost-share requirement; obtain authoritative clarification before action.
Verified September 23, 2026. The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Department for Public Health, Division of Women’s Health is accepting FY28 Kentucky Breast Cancer Research and Education Trust Fund community grant applications for local efforts designed to reduce breast cancer incidence, particularly for underserved population groups and geographic regions.
Funding and grant period
The FY28 grant period is July 1, 2027 through June 30, 2028. The published maximum is $20,000, with special consideration for requests above the maximum when multiple cities and/or larger populations are included. No universal match or cost-share requirement is stated on the current public program page.
Deadline and submission
Applications opened September 22, 2026 at 1:00 PM EST and are due October 19, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST. Submission is through the KDPH Division of Women’s Health Breast Cancer Trust Fund application linked by the official CHFS page.
Eligibility and mandatory pre-application meeting
Applicants must be not-for-profit organizations and may be asked to provide documentation. Every applicant must attend one mandatory virtual meeting before completing the application, with advance registration required. Remaining currently listed meetings occur September 25, September 30, October 2, October 7, October 9, October 14 and October 16 at the times published by CHFS.
Program fit
The program funds efforts to reduce breast cancer incidence and has supported breast cancer awareness, research and screening across Kentucky. Atlas Opportunity Score: 92/100. N9+ Fit: 35/100 conditional. QC Healthcare Fit: 78/100 conditional. N9+ fit must not be forced: the current public page does not establish that telehealth or medical-device costs are allowable, so any technology or equipment concept requires confirmation in the live application and must arise from a qualifying applicant’s documented project need.
Verification hold and next action
Before applicant-specific package production or ORIGINAL outreach, verify the live FY28 application’s full cost rules, forms and attachments, current amendment status, and the specific nonprofit applicant’s eligibility and project credibility. Then clear the verified business Contact, Email_Opt_Out, permanent-bounce, Account/Contact/Deal/Atlas_Email_Queue, and authoritative send-history deduplication gates. Do not infer an email address. Ordinary initial outreach must not introduce or sell N9+.
