Since 1995, the Komen Northeastern New York Affiliate has granted over $1.32 million (up to 75 percent of net revenues) to community-based breast cancer screening, education and treatment programs for the medically underserved in our 11-county service area. Our Affiliate service area includes: Albany, Schenectady, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Washington, Warren, Montgomery, Hamilton, Essex, Clinton and Franklin counties. A minimum of 25 percent of net revenues support the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Award and Research Grant Program.
Like other Komen Affiliates, we work with local medical experts and community leaders to conduct comprehensive community needs assessments within our service area. We use these community profiles to establish local grant application and review processes consistent with Susan G. Komen for the Cure’s standards and mission.
