Grant Important Dates

The Tidewater Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure begins its annual grant-making cycle each January following the Race for the Cure®. The Affiliate Grant Program of Susan G. Komen for the Cure offers one-year grants for innovative Hampton Roads projects in the areas of screening or treatment support projects targeting services not otherwise available to the medically under served populations in the Komen Tidewater Affiliate's service area.

The funding level for these awards is based on the Affiliate's fundraising events in the prior year.

Typically, the Affiliate will issue a Request for Grant Proposal (RFP) in early January to nonprofit organizations to organize and provide breast cancer programs in Hampton Roads. Grant proposals/applications are due back to the local Affiliate by mid-February.

A Grants Review Committee will review all proposals and make funding recommendations to the Affiliate Board of Directors at the end of March. A diverse review panel that includes representation from the medical and research communities, breast cancer survivors, community leaders, and health educators evaluates all grants for funding recommendations. The Board of Directors will make the final determination, and grants will be awarded in early April.

Monies for the first half of each grant will be distributed after April 1st, no later than 30 days after receipt of the fully executed contract. Second payments will be made 6 months later, upon receipt of the 6-month progress report from the grantee.

A final report is due within 90 days of completion of the grant period.
