Komen National's Research & Awards Program
Since its inception in 1982, we have awarded more than 1,100 breast cancer research grants totaling more than $400 million. With $1billion invested to date, Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the world's largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to curing breast cancer at every stage - from the causes, to the cures, to the pain and anxiety of every moment in between. Over $100,000,000 will be invested this year in research grants to those seeking to find the cures for this terrible disease.
In addition, over the past year, the Susan G. Komen Research and Awards program has given back $600,000 to UAMS in Little Rock to study breast cancer treatments.
Grants Process/Overview
The Ozark Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure was approved to be a Race for the Cure® site in 1998 with the first Race being held in April of 1999. Seventy-five percent of every dollar raised in the Ozark Affiliate service area stays here. The remaining 25% is given to the National Awards and Research program to be used to fund scientific studies. Since our first Race we have been able to give out over $4 million to local community programs in the Affiliate area. The eight counties that compose the Ozark Affiliate area include Benton, Boone, Carroll, Crawford, Madison, Newton, Sebastian and Washington counties.
The Promise of Komen for the Cure is to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures. The Ozark Affiliate strives to accomplish the goals of this mission by granting funds for non-duplicative services to other non-profit community agencies, governmental agencies, and educational institutions within our defined service area to carry out breast cancer education, screening, and outreach programs.
