As of July 2025, MBCure has launched the MBCure Research Consortium, which is how we will be funding MBC research moving forward. Every year, 90% of MBCure’s annual net proceeds will be dedicated to the beneficiaries of the MBCure Research Consortium. Currently, we are not accepting applications for research proposals/projects.
However, MBCure will reserve 10% of annual net proceeds to be granted to non-research MBC initiatives to support the other areas of our mission, including MBC awareness, education, and access efforts. These beneficiaries will differ from year to year and we invite organizations who are interested in partnering with MBCure for non-research related initiatives to apply online. The application for these non-research beneficaries goes live every August and closes in early September. The MBCure Board leads the application review and selection process and announces the proceeding year’s beneficiaries in the fall (2026 non-research beneficiaries to be announced in the fall of 2025). The application for this year has now closed. Learn more about our 2026 beneficiaries below!
We are so grateful to our beneficiaries for the wonderful work they continue to do for the MBC community. We congratulate them on their progress and continued success! We know Kerry and Jacquie would be very proud, as we have founded this organization to honor and lead their legacies — here’s to a CURE!!!
MBCure’s 2026 Beneficiaries:
The Living Beyond Breast Cancer Fund provides one-time grants to help offset basic living costs such as housing, utilities, and transportation for people in treatment for breast cancer. Since 2006, when the Living Beyond Breast Cancer Fund was created, we have disbursed over $3 million in grants to nearly 3,500 people in treatment for breast cancer, helping to decrease part of the financial burden of a breast cancer diagnosis. With MBCure’s grant, Living Beyond Breast Cancer can increase the number of grants available in 2026 to people living specifically with metastatic breast cancer (MBC), so they can focus on their health, not their bills.
Project Life is honored to be featured in a short documentary with Empowered, hosted by Meg Ryan, airing on cable and PBS. The film highlights the real-life challenges of living with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and showcases how Project Life provides compassionate, integrative oncology support—focusing on the whole person. MBCure’s grant to support this initiative will help ensure that this story and message continue to be shared, as we work together to keep augmenting awareness and educating people about the realities of MBC.
Special Thanks to MBCure’s Past Beneficiaries!

Travel Grants for MBC patients to attend the Thriving Together: 2025 Conference on Metastatic Breast Cancer hosted by Living Beyond Breast Cancer (LBBC)
A diagnosis of Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) is a health crisis for all and a financial crisis for many. Travel grants to Thriving Together: 2025 Conference on Metastatic Breast Cancer allow those living with MBC to attend, who would otherwise not be able to afford this event and the associated travel costs. This grant program gives MBC patients access to the most up-to-date information on treatment, side effect management, and clinical trials delivered by top medical oncologists, along with strategies on how to live well with MBC.
Fascinating Fact – the original co-founders of MET UP, an activist group to lobby for more MBC research funds, met at this LBBC MBC conference. MET UP was born out of MBC patients having opportunities like this one. As this example highlights, having a multifaceted approach to a CURE, as MBCure does, is critical; supporting initiatives aside from research can lead to great progress too, such as the founding of an organization like MET UP.
