How to Apply for a Grant Cycle

STEP Grants
2009/2010 Grant Year

 

Application Guidelines

The Phoenix Affiliate STEP (screening, treatment and education program) Grants are one-year grants for community projects providing outreach and education, screening services, and treatment services to the medically underserved, uninsured or underinsured.

Funding Areas
Education projects will be funded up to $50,000. The Phoenix Affiliate has decided to fund only education projects that are effective in promoting behavioral change or empowering individuals to make good breast health decisions. Organizations requesting funding for educational projects should include only interventions that are evidence based and can demonstrate a successful outcome/result. 

Screening projects will be funded up to $75,000.  Screening grants should use Komen funding as a “last resort” for those women who are medically underserved, uninsured and/or underinsured.

Treatment service projects will be funded up to $100,000. All Komen funding for treatment service projects must be used to serve medically underserved, uninsured, and/or underinsured populations.

Statement of Need
We are seeking projects that focus on education and outreach, screening or treatment services among medically underserved, uninsured or underinsured communities.

Pre-application Workshop
We strongly encourage all applicants to attend a Pre-Application Workshop before applying for a grant from the Phoenix Affiliate. The workshop will be held on Friday August 15, 2008 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.  Please RSVP to Mary Dokes at mdokes@komenphoenix.org.  Location TBD.
