The Purpose of the Community Profile Report

The Komen Orange County Affiliate relies on information obtained through a Community Profile Report to guide the accomplishment of the promise to end breast cancer forever in its communities. The Community Profile relies on the generosity and dedication of a community of experts and professionals at every step of the way. The report is processed by a team of community members who volunteer their time to conduct the assessment. In addition, the Community Profile also relies on community members to support the effort by participating in surveys, interviews or focus groups.

The information collected through the report guides the following Affiliate activities:
• Promotion of inclusion efforts in the breast cancer community
• Guidance in community grant priorities
• Informing public policy efforts
• Determining outreach and education needs
• Informing fundraising efforts

This information can also be used by other community organizations for the following:
• Program planning and service delivery
• Grant writing
• Opportunities for expanded referrals and inter-agency collaborations

In summary, the Community Profile not only serves to inform the Affiliate, but the entire breast health and breast cancer community in Orange County. The final report provides a snapshot of breast cancer in Orange County, and serves as a road map for future Mission program planning.
