Community Breast Health grants support programs providing access to breast health/breast cancer education, screening coordination, diagnosis, treatment and support for those who are medically-underserved in the New York metropolitan area. Komen Greater NYC will continue to offer funding for medical costs for on-site screening programs that provide mammography screening to patients 40 to 49. Applicants must meet specific criteria before applying.

To apply for a Komen Greater NYC Community Breast Health Grant, your organization must be:

1. A federally tax exempt entity — nonprofit organization, government agency, educational institution or Indian tribe.
2. Located in the Komen Greater NYC service area — the five boroughs of New York City, Long Island, Westchester and Rockland Counties.
3. A current or planned provider of breast health services.

The funding period is twelve months, based on the Komen Greater NYC fiscal year — April 1st through March 31st. Programs applying for the CBH grant may request up to $100,000 over this one year period. Organizations that have previously received Komen Greater NYC funding are welcome to apply for additional funding. However, all CBH grant awards are for one year only.
