Susan G.  Komen for the Cure

Guiding the emergence of organizational excellence

Susan G.  Komen for the Cure engages millions of people nationwide in its vision of finding a cure for breast cancer.  The Oregon and SW Washington Affiliate was a strong member of the Komen family, but was ready to get to the next level.  It needed help evolving its leadership, defining its direction, and expanding its base of fundraising support.  Today, it is one of the premier affiliates in the Komen community, and was recently recognized as one of Oregon’s Best Places to Work.

  • The board made a difficult transition to a greater level of stewardship, taking on greater responsibilities for governance and fundraising.
  • Strategic planning processes led the group to adopt strategies that produce the greatest impacts in diagnosing and treating breast cancer.
  • An entirely new fundraising approach and increased capacity ensure more organizational stability and bring more funding to help find a cure and help women survive.
