Small Grants
The South Dakota Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® is offering grants up to $5,000 to support breast health education projects, conferences, and travel. A small grant can help organizations incorporate breast health into their activities, explore new ways of doing things, creatively serve community needs, or reach new communities.
Small Grants Applications are accepted throughout the year. Applicants must be a non-profit organization with federal tax exemption. Individuals may not receive grants. Grant applications can be used to :
- Raise awareness of breast cancer and increase the capacity of effective breast health programs or assist grassroots organizations to incorporate breast health into their activities, to explore new ways of doing things, and to reach new communities.
- Assist grantees, health care professionals and advocates to attend, participate in and/or present at meetings, conferences or symposia that would increase the community knowledge of breast cancer and facilitate the exchange of ideas and communication between the scientific and lay public.
- Partner with other organizations to support local scientific or educational conferences, with an emphasis on those that enhance the interaction between the advocate, healthcare and scientific communities. The content must focus on breast cancer or breast cancer must make up a significant part of the conference.
Funding requests should not be for a project that would normally be eligible for funding through the yearly peer-reviewed Komen Grant process such as screening and treatment projects.
