Current Grant Recipients
The Siouxland Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® is proud to have awarded more than $600,000 in grants during the past five years to promote breast health at all stages of life through prevention and early detection. Fundraising and grant-awarded programs have provided focused education to community members and healthcare providers. The Komen Siouxland Affiliate has sponsored or collaborated in many local and regional events, developing strong community partnerships and a high level of cause recognition. Third-party events such as Crop for the Cure and Pink in the Rink, an event with our local pro hockey team, yielded invitations to work with other regional organizations in promoting the Komen cause. One of our most anticipated and exciting developments is our first Race for the Cure held May 10, 2009.
Grant funding has supported partnerships with a variety of prevention, treatment and support initiatives. These projects have been selected by our independent Grant Review Panel as those that will have the greatest impact in serving uninsured or underinsured women in our service area. Please note that Susan G. Komen for the Cure is not a direct service provider. Examples of these grants and successful programs can be seen here.
