Grants Overview
An estimated 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Breast cancer screening, treatment, and awareness are vital to ensure the health of individuals in our communities.
To best address the enormity and complexity of the issue, Komen Greater NYC believes that it is imperative to fund community-based breast health programs that provide culturally and linguistically appropriate education and outreach, screening coordination and support and treatment. We also fund local clinical research enrollment programs that assure access to clinical research for the medically under-served. Our National office of Susan G. Komen for the Cure supports research through its peer-reviewed granting program. For more information on that program, see www.komen.org.

Community Breast Health and Clinical Research Enrollment Grant Programs
Applications for the Community Breast Health (CBH) and Clinical Research Enrollment (CRE) Grant Programs are now closed for the 2010 granting cycle. The CBH granting cycle is from April 2010-March 2011 and the CRE granting cycle is from April 2010-March 2012.

The Community Breast Health Grant Program seeks to provide education and outreach, screening coordination and concrete support and treatment services to underserved and minority individuals throughout New York City, Long Island, and Rockland and Westchester Counties.

The Greater New York City Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure recently completed an updated community needs assessment called the Komen Greater NYC Community Profile, 2009, which provides a comprehensive overview of the breast health needs in the Greater New York City area and Komen’s grant making priorities. Please be sure to read this document before crafting your applications.
Small Grants Program
Komen Greater NYC currently offers small grants of up to $5,000 to support small programs and pilot projects in breast health.
