Although breast cancer is a global disease, beliefs and approaches to its diagnosis and treatment vary greatly, in part due to differences in cultural norms, health care systems, and economic conditions. In this context, no single approach to breast cancer will prove effective around the world. For these reasons, Susan G. Komen for the Cure® is partnering with local non-profit organizations in communities worldwide to implement innovative programs aimed at increasing awareness, education, screening, and quality access to care. Through local grants we strengthen organizations and networks and replicate successful programs that can be implemented on a larger scale. To date, Komen for the Cure awarded more than $11 million for international community health programs.
At this time, Komen is not accepting unsolicited proposals. Komen is focusing funding efforts on current commitments and will be accepting proposals by invitation only. We encourage you to check our website periodically for updates on future funding opportunities. If you have any questions please direct them to international@komen.org.
