Small Grants Program

In 2008, Komen Greater NYC announced its Small Grants Program. This new initiative expanded the focus of our grant dollars and replaced the Conference Grants Program

Nonprofits in the Komen Greater NYC service area can apply for up to $5,000 for the following purposes:

• Small or Pilot Breast Health Program Grants - initiating new programs or testing original ideas increasing the innovative capacity and effectiveness of breast health programs serving low-income and uninsured people.
• Travel Scholarships - assisting health care professionals and advocates to attend, participate in and/or present at meetings, conferences or symposia increasing community knowledge of breast cancer and facilitating the exchange of ideas and communication between the scientific community and the general public.
• Conference Grants - supporting local scientific or educational conferences, especially those enhancing the interaction between the advocate, healthcare and scientific communities. Breast cancer must be the sole or significant subject of the conference. For conferences dealing partially on breast cancer, award funding may be applied only to the breast cancer portion of the program.

Komen Greater NYC will consider Small Grants applications four times a year. Award notifications are generally made within six weeks after receipt of the application.

The next application deadline is October 29, 2010. Please note that applications must be submitted by 5:00 pm on October 29, 2010 to be considered.
