How to Apply for Funding

Komen Austin's grants run on our fiscal year, from April 1 to March 31.  Announcements are made in March of each year.  If you have questions, please contact the grants coordinator at grants@komenaustin.org.

Community Grant Funding Opportunities

In September, Komen Austin issues a Request for Application (RFA) to organizations that provide breast health and breast cancer programs in the Greater Austin area. Grant proposals are due to Komen Austin in November. Our Grants Review Panel, which includes health professionals, community representatives, and breast cancer survivors, reviews all proposals and makes recommendations to the Komen Austin Board of Directors. The Board makes the final determination of which programs will receive grants. Grants are awarded April 1.

The Austin Affiliate is now accepting Community Grant applications for the 2012 funding cycle. Application documents include 2012 Request for Application (RFA); 2012 RFA Budget Form; and 2012 Project Work Plan.  

Small Grant Funding Opportunities Still Available

The Austin Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® has breast health/breast cancer funding opportunities through March 31, 2011 for small grants under $10,000.00. Small grants are awarded for travel scholarships to meetings/conferences; pilot projects or small projects; and sponsoring/hosting education conferences. The application process is simple and feedback is quick. Applicants must be a federally tax-exempt organization or an individual with an interest in breast health/breast cancer. Projects or planned events must take place in our five county service area (Bastrop, Hays, Caldwell, Travis, Williamson) and individuals applying to attend a conference must live in our service area.
