Vision A World Without Breast Cancer Promise The Susan G. Komen for the Cure promise is to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures.

2011 Community Profile Demographics and breast cancer statistics Programs and resources Interviews with survivors, grantees, and other front-line providers. Visit

Funding Priorities Priority 1: Increase access and availability of breast health and breast cancer screening services within the county by funding health system partnerships. Priority 2: Partner with community organizations to effectively promote awareness of breast health education and services with an emphasis on bridging the cultural and linguistic divide by providing culturally sensitive education and outreach to specific communities, and education and outreach in native languages. Priority populations include (in no particular order): African American/Black, Hispanic/Latina, Native American, and Asian/Hmong women. Priority 4: Increase Komen visibility and awareness to be recognized in the community as the leader in the breast cancer movement. Priority 3 not directly affected to grantees

Program Description Background Goals and Objectives How do they pertain to our Statement of Need? Evidence-based Strategies/Promising Practices What do you KNOW works? Evaluation Plan Organizational Capacity How many people do you need on your team to be efficient? Sustainability How do you know the project is sustainable?

At Risk Priority Target Communities in the Affiliate Service Area 1)Low-Income Farmworkers: Hmong and migrant Latina farmworkers comprise a significant percentage of the impoverished population. Our motivation to evaluate and target the concentrated poverty in Fresno County is based on the assumption that medically related expenses may be deemed a luxury that are not committed or factored into the overall life expenses of larger families. These are also notoriously difficult communities to reach and engage about breast health and education. 2) Women Exceeding >201% FPL but 201% FPL in Fresno County have never had a mammogram. This could be due to state the eligibility requirements for free screening by the California Cancer Detection Programs. 3) African American Women: African American women tend to be diagnosed with more advanced cases when breast cancer is not as easily treated, and thus, chances for survival are lower. The differences in stage at diagnosis contribute in large part to the racial difference in breast cancer survival. 4) Young Women: Educating young women about the issues of breast health and cancer from the elementary school level through college, if handled in a factual and age-appropriate manner, will provide a foundation for young girls and women to engage in breast health awareness and practices for their lifetimes. Considering that Fresno County has a younger average age and more people under 19 (32.9%) compared to state (26.5%) and national (25.3%) demographics (U.S. Census Bureau, 2010; Thomson-Reuters, 2010), also with less overall education, we must commit to educating young women, and especially those from low-income Latino families, about breast self awareness and practices.

Grantwriting Tutorial Developing a Proposal Writing an Abstract Developing Objectives Program Evaluation Budgeting Helpful Hints

Selection Criteria Impact Feasibility Capacity Collaboration Sustainability

Planning the Proposal Read everything! Consider the funding priorities carefully. Discuss ideas with decision-makers in your organization. Explore opportunities for collaboration. Prepare proposal together.

Proposal Abstract First impressions are important. Brief statement of your “case” and a summary of your proposal. Be distinct and concise! Do not exceed 1200 WORDS. Helpful task: Practice the elevator pitch!

Abstract Purpose of the program Description of key activities Summary of evaluation methods Likely impact of the program

Writing Objectives Specific Tangible Concrete Measurable Achievable within the grant period Define success Form basis for evaluation

Writing Objectives If you have more than five objectives, consider breaking them up under two or three general goals. Be realistic! Who, What, By when, How much???

Impact Evaluation Changes in: Behavior Knowledge Attitudes Beliefs Change among Individuals Providers Organizations Communities

Sustainability & Feasibility Evaluation Are my project goals feasible? Timeline Project Staff Budget Can my project be developed/collaborated on in the future? Community Teaming up with other non-profit organizations Is my impact sustainable?

Budget & Expenses 1.Projects become reality because the central idea is sold, not because the proposal is cheap! 2.Be realistic! Ask for what you need. 3.Justify expenses. Do your costs follow with narrative program description? 4.Are items directly and/or indirectly related to the project? 1.Direct: Is this expense 1) necessary for this project and 2) do we incur this expense for this project only? If yes is the answer to both halves of the question, the expense is direct and fundable. 2.Indirect: If part 1 is yes and part 2 is no, the expense is indirect and fundable up to 15%. 3.Void: If part 1 is no, the expense is not fundable. If you have questions, ask!

Budget & Expenses Indirect costs: not to exceed 20 percent of direct costs Travel Implementation of current IRS travel reimbursement rates Fringe benefits = medical insurance, dental insurance, 401K matching, etc. A fringe benefit is a form of pay (including property, services, cash or cash equivalent) in addition to stated pay for the performance of services. Payroll taxes ARE NOT fringe benefits. Payroll costs include the employer portion of FICA, FUTA, ETT and SUI. Payroll costs does not include SDI, FIT or SIT

Helpful Hints Read the RFP carefully — follow ALL directions. Be innovative, realistic, specific. Write clearly, use active rather than passive voice. Try not to repeat yourself throughout the proposal. Avoid jargon, acronyms, and slang. Allow plenty of time to work on your RFP!
