Komen Grants Undergoing Major Changes

The Komen promise is to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures. The Oregon and SW Washington Affiliate seeks to ensure that all people, regardless of race, income, geographic location, or insurance status have access to screening and, if diagnosed, to quality, effective treatment and treatment support services.

Community Grants: Our Affiliate is reviewing and restructuring its Grant Program. Due to the extensive revisions and the decreased resources available this fiscal year, the Affiliate Board of Directors has made the difficult decision to only accept Community Grant applications from current grantees for the FY11 Community Grants. Community Grant applications for the program year of April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011 will be accepted until December 1, 2009 from current grantees only. (The Affiliate will continue with its current “step-down” policy, meaning current grantees may apply for $30,000 if they will be in their second year and $25,000 if they are in the third year or beyond.)

Transportation Grants: This program is now a service-area wide program serving all of Oregon and Clark, Skamania and Cowlitz counties in SW Washington in partnership with the American Cancer Society. Please see our Transportation Program page for more details. There will be small transportation grants available (up to $5,000) to address local needs and women that do not meet the ACS guidelines.

Mini-grants: These are small grants (up to $2,000) that are offered quarterly and are designed to assist with special breast health events and education. There will be no changes to this program; applications are due December 15, March 15, June 15 and August 15.
