How to Apply for Funding

Grant Application Process

Thank you for your interest in the Komen Affiliate grants program. To be eligible to apply for a Komen Community-Based Grant your organization must be:

• A federally tax-exempt entity — nonprofit organization, government agency, educational institution or Indian tribe.
• Located in the specified affiliate service area.

Applications are drafted and submitted through our new, innovative Grants e-Management System (GeMS) to improve and streamline administrative functions related to all aspects of the grant-making process.

 Each year, our Affiliate hosts a Grant Writing Workshop for prospective, eligible applicants. For the upcoming 2013-2014 grant cycle (April 1-March 31), we will host three workshops.  It is mandatory to attend one workshop in order to receive your required user ID for our Grants e-Management System (GeMS).
