The Cancer Research Endowment (CARE) Fund, a new public-private partnership that supports cancer research in Washington, has selected Empire Health Foundation (EHF) in Spokane to serve as its Program Administrator. EHF will be responsible for administering grants to fund cancer research that utilizes the best science with the greatest potential to improve health outcomes for Washingtonians.  

The CARE Fund has released its Inaugural Plan, which includes its inaugural investment strategy in two funding areas and a proposed operating plan for the design, implementation, and administration of the CARE Fund. The grant programs were chosen through Board deliberation and represent high-impact strategies that can achieve the CARE Fund's objectives in creating a clear return on investment for Washingtonians. 

OLYMPIA – Gov. Jay Inslee today announced the first appointees to the Cancer Research Endowment Authority Board. The Board will oversee and guide the Cancer Research Endowment — or CARE — fund, with a 10-year, up to $10 million-per year state match to fund cancer research in Washington. The CARE Fund was authorized by Senate Bill 6096 and signed into law by the governor in 2015. Board members were announced today during the Cancer Moonshot Summit at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.

Governor Inslee signed into law Senate Bill 6096, creating the The Cancer Research Endowment (CARE) Fund. The law (Chapter 43.348 RCW) authorizes the state to provide a state match of up to $10 million per year, for 10 years, to fund cancer research in Washington State. The Fund is built on a public-private partnership model, and incentivizes additional investment by requiring private or non-state resources to match public funds.
