The Grant Process

The mission of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease by advancing research, education, screening and treatment. Our local affiliate strives to accomplish the goals of this mission by granting funds to other non-profit community agencies, governmental agencies, and educational institutions within our defined service area to carry out breast cancer education, screening, and outreach programs.

The grant process beings in the fall of each year with a Grant Writing Workshop hosted by the local affiliate to help organizations understand the applications process. Completed Grant Applications are then accepted and reviewed by a panel of volunteers. The local Board of Directors then votes on the Recommended Funding Levels at the December Board Meeting and Grant Checks are awarded at the Affiliates Annual meeting in April.
