Funding Priorities

$3.8 Million in Grants Awarded since 1995
 
At the SC Mountains to Midlands Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, we know that ending breast cancer is about more than curing a medical condition - it's about overcoming the cultural, social and financial conditions that prevent women from receiving life-saving breast health care and treatment. 

Funding Priorities:
 

The following priorities are identified as unmet needs in the Community Profile conducted by the SC Mountains to Midlands Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure:

Priority 1: Reduce mortality rates by increasing breast screenings for Edgefield, Cherokee, Greenwood, Richland, and Spartanburg Counties through reduction of structural barriers and knowledge barriers. Structural barriers may include, but are not limited to, financial cost, lack of transportation, and limited access to the continuum of care. Knowledge barriers include, but are not limited to, low breast health education, limited community outreach, and lack of awareness about available programs.
Priority 2: Increase survivor support services (counseling, support groups, transitional assistance, co-survivor network, children’s counseling, etc.) for breast cancer survivors in all counties of the service area.
Priority 3: Build partnerships with key organizations and individuals in all counties for fundraising, granting, and outreach outlets.
Priority 4: Provide increased access to breast health screening through Best Chance Network and other state policies regarding health access.
