East Tennessee Community Grants
The Knoxville Affiliate offers community grants for innovative projects in the areas of breast health and breast cancer education, screening, treatment support and survivorship not otherwise available to medically underserved populations in East Tennessee. The Affiliate’s 2011 Community Profile is used to establish priority areas for grant funding that are consistent with Komen's stated mission and focus resources in the areas where they are most needed.
