2012-13 Funding Opportunities
The Komen Lowcountry Affiliate is currently offering grants for innovative programs that reduce breast cancer mortality, especially among those who are disproportionately affected by this disease.  For our community needs assessment, click here.
We have identified the following funding priorities based on our 2011 Community Profile:
•    Reduce the barriers to screening and treatment, especially for rural populations, African Americans, and Hispanics.
•    Increase education about breast health, breast cancer screenings, and available resources. This includes the education of both the general public and medical providers.
•    Improve support services for survivors, including specific survivor populations such as men, patients with metastatic disease, and young women.
