Current Grant Recipients

The Memphis-MidSouth Affiliate granted $800,000 in Community Grants for April 2012 - March 2013.

75% of the funds we raise stay here in the Midsouth helping women and families in our community. The remaining 25% goes to breast cancer research. In 2012 our Affiliate gave $265,000 to breast cancer research.

Together we are saving lives in our own community. Thank you for all YOU do in the battle against breast cancer.

We have 11 Community Grant Recipients that will be providing mammograms for 5,750 local women, breast cancer education for 8,200 women, support services for 1,528 women, and treatment for 30 women.

These projects have been selected by our independent Grant Review Panel as those that will have the greatest impact in serving uninsured or underinsured women in our service area. Please note that Susan G. Komen for the Cure® is not a direct service provider.
