Small Grants Program

In 2008, Komen Central Texas announced its Small Grants Program. This new initiative expanded the focus of our grant dollars and replaced the Conference Grants Program.

Small Grants are for funding requests that do not exceed $10,000 and are intended to support some of the “unexpected” costs associated with a project (e.g. purchase of educational materials, food costs, costs for a presentation, survivor recognition, etc.).  Small Grants are NOT intended to support salary or services for an individual (e.g. mammography, ultrasound), development of materials, etc. Please review the Small Grant Application for a complete list of criteria and guidelines.

Conference Grants are intended to support local scientific or educational conferences, symposia and meetings, with an emphasis on those that enhance the interaction between the advocate, healthcare system and scientific communities.  Conference grant funding requests may not exceed $5,000.

Travel Grants are intended to provide travel assistance to grantees, healthcare professionals and advocates to attend, participate in and/or present at meetings, conferences or symposia’s that would increase the community knowledge of breast health and breast cancer. Travel Grants are available for up to $2,000 for travel, individuals may apply.  (Limit 2 per Organization)
