Request for Application

The Request for Application (RFA) is built around the Affiliate’s Statement of Need which conveys the guidelines for the types of programs Komen and the Affiliate are willing to fund. The Statement of Need and RFA are both based on findings from the bi-annual Community Profile. The Statement of Need is included as part of the RFA.

The RFA also sets the rules for applying for Komen Affiliate grants, including deliverables under the grant contract, evaluation criteria, grants structure and budget and other qualifying guidelines that must be met before the proposal is sent to review.

The deadline for Community Grant applications is Friday, November 18, 2011.

If you have any questions please contact Natalie Weil, Grants Administrator at natalieweil@komenwny.org or call (716) 332-2481.

For additional details on the application process and timelines please refer to the RFA.
