2010-2011 Community Health Grant Applications Now Being Accepted

Visit the applicant & grantee resource section of the website to find all the tools needed to successfully apply for Komen Milwaukee funding.

The Milwaukee Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® is currently accepting grant applications 2010-2011 RFA for evidence-based strategies and promising practices to reduce breast cancer mortality in our eight-county service area which includes Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha, Jefferson, Walworth, Washington and Ozaukee counties.

Priority consideration will be given to applicants proposing services for individuals in Milwaukee, Racine and Waukesha counties. Within our eight-county service area, these three counties have the most number of women being diagnosed and dying from breast cancer. This decision was based on incidence and mortality data that were presented in the 2009 Komen Milwaukee Community Profile.
Non-profit organizations interested in providing innovative and non-duplicative breast health intervention and implementing a process to effectively link women to screening services and follow-up care in partnership with local medical providers are strongly encouraged to apply. Grants are available for up to one (1) year.

Applicants should utilize the 2009 Komen Milwaukee Community Profile to guide program development to meet the priorities in the statement of need on the following pages. Priority consideration will also be given to applications that are in alignment with the current Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan. The full plan can be viewed at www.wicancer.org.

Application Deadline: Friday, November 13, 2009 by 5:00 PM

Please submit one electronic copy of all application documents in a PDF file. Once the application has been checked for compliance with the Affiliate grant guidelines, you will be asked to submit 10 copies for the independent review panel. Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit their proposals for review and feedback from Affiliate staff prior to November 6, 2009.

All potential applicants are strongly encouraged to attend the Affiliate Grant Writing Workshop. At the workshop, we will be discussing the current gaps that exist relative to breast health in our eight-county service area. Information presented during this workshop will be key to an applicant’s success. This workshop focuses on designing a program for a grant application that is in alignment with Komen priorities. This is not a basic grant-writing workshop. If you are unable to attend the workshop or the workshop date has passed, contact Jennifer at (414) 805-4904 for an overview of the workshop.
