Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• American Cancer Society: The largest US cancer nonprofit, running signature fundraising events (Relay For Life, Making Strides), research grants, patient support (1-800-227-2345 helpline), and advocacy. Most directly comparable to Komen in mission scope, multi-channel GTM, and event-driven fundraising model.
• CancerCare: Provides free professional support services, financial assistance, and counseling to cancer patients — directly overlapping Komen's financial assistance and helpline offerings, with a multi-cancer (not disease-specific) mandate.
• National Breast Cancer Foundation: Breast cancer-specific nonprofit providing patient navigation, early detection screening programs, and education — directly overlapping with Komen's Patient Care Center and ShareForCures offerings. Operates as the closest disease-specific peer to Komen Dallas.
• Young Survival Coalition: Focused on breast cancer in young women, with peer support, advocacy, and education programs. Comparable to Komen's patient advocacy and education offerings but with a specific demographic concentration (pre-menopausal).
• Living Beyond Breast Cancer: Patient-focused nonprofit providing breast cancer education, support conferences, and a helpline. Directly comparable to the Komen Patient Care Center and educational resources, with a narrower but deeper survivorship focus.
• Breast Cancer Research Foundation: The largest private funder of breast cancer research globally. Overlapping with Komen's $1.1B research investment mandate, but with a more research-pure focus and major donor-driven (rather than event-driven) revenue model.

Emerging players

• Bright Pink: Focused on breast and ovarian cancer risk reduction and early detection for younger women. Overlaps with Komen's screening navigation and preventive education services but with a narrower, prevention-only mandate.
• Tigerlily Foundation: Funds and advocates for young women with breast cancer, with strong digital advocacy programs. Comparable to Komen's advocacy and patient support work but with a targeted demographic and modern digital-first GTM.

Broad incumbents

• American Heart Association (Go Red for Women): Largest US heart-disease nonprofit and a broader-incumbent peer: operates the same playbook of signature cause-marketing events, corporate partnerships, advocacy networks, and research grants that Komen uses, applied to women's cardiovascular health.

Others

• National Ovarian Cancer Coalition: Adjacent women's cancer nonprofit operating patient support, awareness, and advocacy programs in a structure similar to Komen — useful for benchmarking affiliate scale and event-fundraising effectiveness, but operating in a different disease vertical.
