Komen Financial Assistance Program

Grant Overview
Donor: Susan G. Komen Foundation
About: The Komen Financial Assistance Program, run by the Susan G. Komen Foundation, addresses the financial strain faced by individuals actively battling breast cancer, especially those managing the costs of daily living while undergoing treatment. Recognizing that treatment can limit work and income capacity, the program provides $400 grants to help cover essential costs that are often deprioritized, like food, rent, utilities, and even transportation for medical appointments.
Applicants must meet income eligibility criteria (below 300% of the Federal Poverty Level) and have a recent breast cancer diagnosis (stage 0-3 within 24 months or metastatic) to ensure that funds reach those facing the greatest need. The application process requires submission through the MyKomen Health portal, ensuring a streamlined and secure system for sensitive health information.
