October 2023 Nonprofit Member Spotlight

The Promise Fund of Florida works tirelessly every day to ensure that underinsured and uninsured women have access to timely and quality breast and cervical cancer treatment and resources. In Palm Beach County (PBC), almost half (45%) of cervical cancers and almost one-third (30%) of breast cancers are at an advanced stage when diagnosed, and Promise Fund is committed to ending late-stage deaths from breast and cervical cancer.

The nonprofit helps patients receive screenings, logistics support, care, and more – regardless of ability to pay.  Promise Fund has educated, screened, navigated, and treated over 18,000 women in Palm Beach County.  By 2024 the goal is to reach all 80,000 uninsured women in our community.

The Promise Fund of Florida was recently honored as Nonprofit of the Year for the medium-size category in the seventh annual Hats Off Nonprofit Awards.
