Additionally, 50 domestic violence shelters across the country, including Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, were granted $20,000 each, totaling $1 million. The purpose of this financial aid is to provide resources to support women and children who are seeking a life free of abuse. 

The foundation also awarded cancer research grants to fund innovation and better detection, selecting ten cancer researchers to receive $100,000 each for their research proposals.  

The 2021 grant recipients include: 

  • The General Hospital Corporation d/b/a Massachusetts General Hospital

“The Mary Kay Ash Foundation continues its steadfast mission to support cancer researchers who are seeking cures for cancers affecting women and provide life-saving resources to domestic violence shelters across the country,” said Ryan Rogers, Vice President of the Mary Kay Ash Foundation Board of Directors and grandson of company founder Mary Kay Ash. “These grants enable some of the brightest minds to continue their research efforts, bring hope to women who are facing a cancer diagnosis and support the first responders who worked tirelessly to help domestic violence survivors and their families. By continuing support for these scientists and organizations, we know we are continuing our mission to better the lives of women everywhere.”
