Grants
Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the world's largest breast cancer organization, awarded more than $100 million in research grants last year, representing the largest single-year investment in research in the organization's 26-year history and a 30 percent increase over the previous year’s award total of $77 million. The 2009 grants slate moves Komen for the Cure® closer to accomplishing its goal of investing another $2 billion in breast cancer research and community health programs by 2017.
Here in San Diego County, up to 75 percent of the funds donated remain here in San Diego County to cover every step of the breast health journey - from education, outreach, mammograms and diagnostics, to surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation and material and financial support like meals, mortgage payments, child care, prosthetics and wigs. The remaining 25 percent of each dollar donated funds international research. In fact, next to the U.S. government, Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the largest funder of breast cancer research in the world.
