Non-Profit Management Specialist

Who We Are 

The tgin Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting uninsured women undergoing treatment for breast cancer, highlighting the impact of health disparities on survivor outcomes, and emphasizing the importance of early detection for women under the age of 40. 

Did You Know: In Chicago, Black women are 42% more likely to die from breast cancer than the general population. Despite recent declines in breast cancer mortality in the United States, African American women continue to die from breast cancer at higher rates than women of other races. Poverty remains the primary social factor underlying health disparities.  

We're fixing this, and you can too!
