(20) Founded in 1993, the BCRF has raised 
more than $500 million to fuel discoveries in tumor 
biology, genetics, prevention, treatment, survivorship 
and metastasis, making BCRF one of the largest 
private funders of breast cancer research in the 
world. For 2014–2015, BCRF committed $58.6 mil-
lion in research, including $11.6 million to the inter-
national Evelyn H. Lauder Founder’s Fund focused 
on metastasis, to support the work of more than 220 
researchers at leading medical institutions across six 
continents (25 states and 14 countries). 
(21) Susan G. Komen (Komen) is the largest 
non-government funder of breast cancer research, 
funding research that spans the breast cancer con-
tinuum from basic biology to treatment to survivor-
ship. 
(22) Over the past 5 years, more than 80 cents 
of every dollar spent by Komen has gone directly to 
its mission to save lives and end breast cancer by 
empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and 
energizing science to find the cures. 
(23) Since its inception in 1982, Komen has in-
vested more than $2.6 billion towards its mission, 
including more than $847 million in over 2400 re-
search grants and 450 clinical trials in 48 states and
