How to Apply for Funding

Community Grants

Due October 14, 2012

Awarded for innovative programs that reduce breast cancer incidence and mortality rates, especially those who are disproportionately affected by breast cancer. All programs must address breast health and/or breast cancer education, screening, diagnosis, treatment, or survivorship needs of individuals in the Komen Northwest Ohio Affiliate’s 24-county service area. Community Grant applications are accepted once a year and should address at least one of the four priorities identified by the Affiliate:

  • Breast Health and Breast Cancer Education/Awareness: Programs that focus on providing culturally appropriate breast cancer education and awareness, patient navigation, and advocacy with an emphasis on the medically underserved.
  • Access to Breast Cancer Screening: Screening of high-risk underserved populations, especially focusing on women and minority populations of all ages, with resource and access barriers.
  • Access to Breast Cancer Diagnosis and/or Treatment: Diagnosis and treatment of high-risk underserved populations, especially focusing on women and minority populations of all ages, with resource and access barriers.
  • Breast Cancer Survivorship: Programs directed to breast cancer patients at the early or newly diagnosed stage and ongoing through treatment.
