Grant Categories
An organization may apply for a grant in the individual or combination grant category; not both.

Grant Categories - Individual
Education projects will be funded up to $50,000.  We are looking for 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 projects will be funded up to $150,000. All Komen funding for treatment service projects must be used to serve medically underserved, uninsured, and/or underinsured populations.

Grant Categories - Combination
This category has been added for organizations that have developed a program that encompasses a combination of the above grant funding categories and to simplify the grant application process for potential grant recipients. Grant applications maybe written for the following combination of grant categories:

Education and Screening
