The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Mission is to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Affiliates of Komen for the Cure represent one of the nation's largest private funding sources for breast health and breast cancer screening, education, treatment and support programs.  

To date, the Lubbock Area Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure has invested more than $2.3 million to help local non-profit agencies with projects related to breast health and/or breast cancer education, treatment, screening and support. 

In fiscal year 2010-2011, the Lubbock Area Affiliate will grant over $350,000.00 to its local service area.

Up to 75 cents of each dollar raised by the Lubbock Area Affiliate remains in the Lubbock Affiliate’s 16-County service area to help fund local breast health screening, treatment and education programs.  The Lubbock Area Affiliate sends the remaining 25 cents to Susan G. Komen for the Cure’s National Research Program. 

Additionally, the Lubbock Area Affiliate has contributed $680,071.00 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure's Research Program. 

Our ability to fund these projects stems from the success of the Lubbock Area Affiliate’s Race for the Cure, and other Affiliate annual events dedicated to a world without breast cancer. 

The next funding period is April 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012. Requests for Applications (RFA's) are due Friday, December 3, 2010 by 4:00pm. You may download the 2011-2012 Request for Application and Application Guidebook below. Please email Allison@komenlubbock.org with questions.

Please note: Susan G. Komen for the Cure is not a direct service provider. We do not provide funds directly to individuals for screening or treatment, nor do we make referrals, determine who is eligible for screening and treatment.
