Who does EAESSI help?

EAESSI helps uninsured women get free mammograms, first generation students win scholarships, parents file the FAFSA and teens build leadership skills. Every program is free. That is who we help first, and everyone else on this page helps make it possible.

Give back

Some people need help. Others want to give it.

Two groups power much of what we do.

6,000 to 7,000Uninsured women reached each year by Virginia's free screening program, which is limited by funding

Virginia's free screening program serves roughly 6,000 to 7,000 uninsured women a year, and funding limits how many more it can reach, according to Citizen Portal. Gifts from local people help close that gap.

Survivors and advocates give in honor of someone they love. Community donors and alumni invest in scholarships and screenings close to home.

Partner with us

Bring your people. We bring the program.

Groups that reach many families at once help us reach further. This is the other half of who we help.
