Board of Directors 

Thanks to more than 100,000 survivors and activists dedicated to the breast cancer movement, Susan G. Komen for the Cure® is a unique grassroots network working in more than 100 U.S. cities and three countries.

Up to 75% of an Affiliate’s net income stays in the community to fund local breast health education, breast cancer screening and treatment programs.

The remaining net income (a minimum of 25%) supports the Komen for the Cure® Grants Program, which funds groundbreaking breast cancer research, meritorious awards and educational and scientific programs around the world.
