Our Community Need
Impacting Our Community
The Charlotte Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure is a grant-making organization. In 2009, we granted more than $1.7 million towards our mission to save lives and end breast cancer forever. Locally, Komen Charlotte contributed $1.2 million to 24 non-profit programs within the Komen Charlotte nine county service area to provide vital breast cancer screening, education, and treatment programs directly to the medically underserved, uninsured, or underinsured.
Finding a Cure
This year, Komen Charlotte also provided $50,000 in supplemental funding to a peer reviewed research grant at UNC-Chapel Hill which was selected for funding by the Scientific Advisory Board and approved by the Komen Board of Directors.
