What it costs
A few hundred dollars. A lifetime of difference.
Here is what it takes to fund a mammogram for one woman.
How much does it cost to fund a mammogram?
A screening mammogram without insurance can cost from under $200 to more than $300, according to GoodRx. When you fund a mammogram, your gift helps cover that cost for a woman who could not pay it herself.

They combine with others until a screening is fully funded.
Why it matters
Found early, it is treatable. Cost gets in the way.
The state helps many uninsured women, but not every woman who needs a screening.
Why do uninsured women need donors?
Virginia's free screening program serves roughly 6,000 to 7,000 uninsured women a year, and its reach is limited by funding, according to Citizen Portal. Donors help close the gap for women who fall outside it or cannot wait.
Early detection
When you fund a mammogram, you help catch cancer early. A single free mammogram can find breast cancer when it is small and easier to treat. That can spare a family a long and frightening road.

When you fund a mammogram, your gift is directed to breast screening for uninsured women.
