How to Apply for Funding

Thank you for your interest in the Komen Affiliate grants program.

The 2012-2013 Request for Applications is now closed.

The NC Triangle Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure offers grants for innovative projects in the areas of breast health and breast cancer education, outreach, screening, treatment support, and post diagnosis services/support targeting services not otherwise available to the medically underserved populations of our 20 county service area: Caswell, Chatham, Durham, Edgecombe, Franklin, Granville, Halifax, Harnett, Johnston, Lee, Moore, Nash, Northampton, Orange, Person, Pitt, Scotland, Vance, Warren, and Wake.

Grants are available for up to one (1) year and are on a fiscal year cycle from April 1 to March 31.

To qualify for funding your organization must meet all of the following criteria:

1. Provide breast health/cancer services or financial support within the continuum of care and recovery (i.e., education, screening, diagnosis, treatment, post-diagnosis/survivorship).

2. A federally tax exempt entity — nonprofit organization, government agency, educational institution or Indian tribe.

3. Reside and serve patients in the affiliate’s 20-county service area of Caswell, Chatham, Durham, Edgecombe, Franklin, Granville, Halifax, Harnett, Johnston, Lee, Moore, Nash, Northampton, Orange, Person, Pitt, Scotland, Vance, Warren, and Wake.

4. Program must be specific to breast health and/or breast cancer; e.g. if a program is a combined breast and cervical cancer program, funding may only be requested for the breast cancer portion.
Funding Limits: Komen NC Triangle offers funding at the following levels:

• Indirect Care/Support: programs provide education, outreach, awareness, and/or social support but NOT direct screening or treatment services can be funded up to $40,000.
• Direct Care: programs that provide direct patient care costs/services such as screening and treatment can be funded up to $75,000.
