Promise Fund of Florida

What Promise Fund of Florida does

Promise Fund of Florida is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 83-0535519) headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida, that delivers breast and cervical cancer prevention services to underserved women across the state. Founded in 2018-2019, the organization provides free access to cancer screenings, early detection, treatment coordination, and follow-up care, supported by a model that pairs patient navigators with clinical partners such as Invision (mammograms), Monarch (HIV testing), University of Miami (cancer screenings), and Florida Atlantic University (mental health assessments). Its core offering is a guided navigation service rather than a technology platform; the organization has no proprietary software and operates through community health fairs, a self-referral web intake, and direct outreach to women regardless of income, geography, or insurance status.

The organization's business model is that of a community health nonprofit: services are delivered at no cost to beneficiaries, and operating capital is sourced from foundation grants and charitable donations rather than fees or insurance reimbursement. The Florida Blue Foundation awarded Promise Fund as part of a $525,000 grant pool shared among nine recipients in April 2024, and The Community Foundation for Palm Beach & Martin Counties provided a second grant in mid-2025. The organization maintains a small team (11-50 employees) anchored at its West Palm Beach headquarters, with event-based delivery concentrated in the Historic Northwest neighborhood and surrounding South Florida communities.

The go-to-market motion is community-led, relying on grassroots engagement, an Annual Community Wellness Fair co-hosted with the Related Ross Foundation, and partnerships that provide in-kind clinical capacity. The organization is led by founder Nancy G. Brinker, the globally recognized founder of Susan G. Komen, whose profile provides significant brand credibility in the breast cancer mission space. The current impact-reporting infrastructure is nascent, with the website displaying a placeholder 'Women We've Reached: 0' figure, indicating that the organization is at an early stage of institutionalizing outcome measurement.
