Small Grants Program

In addition to the program categories listed above, the Southern Arizona Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure also provides several small grant opportunities throughout the year. These small grants are not subject to the submission deadlines of our other community grants. Please contact Susan G Priest, Community Resource Manager at the local office at (520) 319-0155 for more information on eligibility requirements. Or contact Jackie White, Grants Chair, 520-260-4612, grants@komensaz.org.

Travel Scholarships -- $1000 or less domestic or $2000 or less international
Travel grants can be requested throughout the year to provide travel assistance to grantees, health care professionals and advocates to attend, participate in, and/or present at meetings, conferences, or symposia that increase community knowledge of breast health and breast cancer and facilitate the exchange of ideas and communication between the scientific and lay public communities.

Support Grants - less than $2,000
Small grant requests can be made throughout the year by using the application provided below and will be considered for small money requests that promote the mission of Susan G. Komen for the Cure and increase the capacity of effective and already existent breast health programs. These grants are not intended to support salary, services for an individual, or the development of materials for breast health/cancer projects (see our community grant program focused on screening, support, education & prevention). The small grant funds ARE to support some of the "unexpected" costs associated with a project (e.g., purchase of educational materials, food costs at presentation sessions, survivor recognition).

Conference Grants - less than $5,000
Conference grants are available to support local scientific or educational conferences, symposia and meetings with an emphasis on those that enhance the interaction between the advocate and the healthcare and scientific communities.
