Programs

The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation raises significant funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer. Proceeds of all fundraising events fund global research efforts, meritorious awards and local breast health and breast cancer outreach programs. Up to 75 percent of net proceeds fund community projects related to breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment. These projects are selected based on a needs assessment conducted every two years. The remainder of the net proceeds (a minimum of 25 percent) supports the Komen Foundation Award and Research Grant Program, which funds groundbreaking breast cancer research and meritorious awards.
