Community Outreach
United Way/Jimmy Fund Collaboration
During its 12th year in 2005, the United Way/Jimmy Fund Collaboration awarded funds to nine community-based organizations that provide culturally appropriate cancer prevention, education, and outreach services for at-risk populations in low-income communities. The United Way of Massachusetts Bay (UWMB) and Dana-Farber work together to develop ways to strengthen the Collaboration and support the unmet needs of the organizations. In the coming year, UWMB and DFCI will work with the organizations to enhance their ability to measure program outcomes and their ability to describe the impact that their work has on the communities in which they serve.
The following community-based organizations received grant awards in 2005:
- Boston YWCA
- Haitian Multi Service Center
- Kit Clark Senior Services, Scope Project
- Latin American Health Institute
- Malden YWCA
- Mass Alliance of Portuguese Speakers
- Mujeres Unidas en Accion
- Sociedad Latina
