Funding Priorities

A minimum of 25 percent of the net income from each domestic Affiliate Race supports the national Komen for the Cure Grant Program, which funds groundbreaking breast cancer research, meritorious awards and educational and scientific conferences around the world.

Up to 75 percent of the net income from each domestic Affiliate Race stays in the local community to fund breast health education, breast cancer screening and treatment projects.

Brief Summary of Priorities

The Mid-Kansas Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure conducts a Community Profile, also called a community needs assessment, specifically looking at breast health and breast cancer in our service area. The Profile is done every two years and includes demographics, breast health statistics, an assessment of breast health services and a survey of the community’s beliefs about breast health and access to care. The Community Profile helps establish grant and education priorities for the Komen Mid-Kansas Affiliate.
