Community Needs and Funding Priorities
The Affiliate establishes its funding priorities by conducting a community needs assessment and publishing a Community Profile report every two years. The 2011 Community Profile Report was conducted to find the needs and gaps in breast health services in the 10-county service area of Komen Atlanta. It also serves as a guide for grantmaking and fundraising efforts, so as to not duplicate programs already in place and focus efforts on addressing unmet needs for breast health in the community.
Use the links below to review the summary and full 2011 Community Profile Report. For the first time, Komen Atlanta has created breast health overviews for each of the counties within our service area. To learn more about breast health in your county please see the links below.
