Funding Priorities

2012-13 Community Grant -- Statement of Need

Based on the findings and conclusions of the 2011 Community Profile Report, the Montana Affiliate is currently accepting proposals for innovative projects that fall within the Komen Continuum of Care and target services to the underserved populations of Montana. 

Programs or projects should: 

  • Provide breast health navigation, breast screening and diagnostic services, and/or breast cancer treatment support programs to underserved populations defined as people living in isolated, remote communities of the state; residents who lack health insurance or who are underinsured; and/or American Indians living on reservations or in urban centers. 
  • Describe a plan for the facilitation of seamless access and transition through the Komen Breast Cancer Continuum of Care through such action as community partnerships which promote patient tracking, follow-up and referral systems.
  • Provide education/outreach activities that result in action-oriented behavior as shown in the Continuum of Care.
  • Provide outcome and evaluation methods that can lead to program sustainability if sustainability is applicable to program goals.
