2011 Community Grant Recipients
Total Amount: $400,000.00
Susan G. Komen for the Cure’s Impact in Los Angeles County
Of all breast cancer foundations, Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the only organization where 75% of the net proceeds stay in the communities where they are raised. The remaining 25% of the net funds raised support Komen’s National Grant Program, which is regarded as the most innovative and responsive grant program in breast cancer research.
Over 15 years, the Komen Los Angeles County Affiliate has raised over $9 million to provide community-based grants to local organizations providing breast cancer screening, education, treatment and support services and to help fund national breast cancer research programs. A major focus of the Komen Los Angeles County Affiliate is to assist uninsured and underinsured women and men who have symptoms of breast cancer and are facing barriers to accessing health care, particularly women under 40 and men.
