The NRCC Foundation Inc directs the vast majority of its funding to breast cancer research and support—primarily through large, repeated grants to Susan G. Komen—while also making a small number of modest tuition scholarships to individual students. Their giving profile is dominated by one health-related grantee but includes targeted, individual educational assistance.
Highly concentrated: one large institutional grantee receives ~95% of dollars via multiple grants, complemented by a handful of small, discretionary tuition awards to individuals.
Nrcc Foundation Inc’s recent grantmaking is dominated by repeated support for Susan G Komen’s breast cancer collaborative research, with four large awards across 2023 and 2024 ranging from $45,114 to $120,053. That pattern makes the foundation’s identity unusually clear: it channels most of its funding into breast cancer research and support, while also making small tuition awards to individual students. The research grants point to a project-based approach tied to collaborative biomedical work rather than broad general operating support. The foundation’s named grantees show two distinct lanes of giving. On the health side, Susan G Komen in Dallas received the largest awards in the recent file. On the education side, the foundation made modest tuition grants to individuals in Raleigh, including Ford Baker, Christan Codner, Renee Smith, and Hannah Mckinney. Those student awards are much smaller than the research grants and appear as restricted individual scholarship support. With annual grants of $379,188 and total assets of $33,829, the foundation gives at a scale that is concentrated but active.
In breast cancer research, Nrcc Foundation Inc gave $100,400 in 2024 to Susan G Komen for breast cancer collaborative research, and the same purpose also appears in several other large grants in the recent record. The repeated wording suggests a consistent commitment to collaborative research rather than one-off project support. A second theme is tuition assistance for individual students. The foundation awarded $6,000 to Ford Baker in Raleigh for tuition in 2024, followed by $4,200 each to Christan Codner and Renee Smith in 2025, and $4,000 to Hannah Mckinney in 2024. These grants are much smaller than the research awards and indicate direct educational aid. The balance between these two areas shows a narrow but dual-purpose profile: disease-focused biomedical funding alongside restricted individual scholarship support.
Typical grant size is unevenly distributed, with a p25 of $4,200, a median of $25,557, and a p75 of $96,516. That spread reflects a mix of very small individual tuition awards and much larger research grants. The recent record also shows recurring support rather than isolated giving: Susan G Komen appears in multiple years with several awards, while the student grants are smaller, one-time awards to named individuals. Nrcc Foundation Inc is a foundation and funds individuals directly. It does not make program-related investments.

Grant recipients are overwhelmingly in the United States, with 8 grants and 100% of the recent file shown there. Raleigh appears repeatedly among individual recipients, while Dallas is the location tied to the foundation’s largest research grantee. The foundation gives most often in North Carolina, and 50% of grants go to recipients in its headquarters state. That pattern points to a split between local tuition aid and a broader research relationship centered outside the state.
The foundation’s recent grants center on breast cancer collaborative research and tuition support for individual students. The largest awards in the file go to Susan G Komen for breast cancer collaborative research, while smaller awards go to named individuals in Raleigh for tuition.
Yes. Susan G Komen appears several times in the recent grant list, with awards in both 2023 and 2024. The repeated grants are all described as breast cancer collaborative research, showing an ongoing relationship rather than a single isolated award.
The grant-size distribution is wide: p25 is $4,200, median grant size is $25,557, and p75 is $96,516. That mix reflects small tuition awards at the low end and much larger research grants at the high end.
Yes. The recent grants include tuition awards to named individuals such as Ford Baker, Christan Codner, Renee Smith, and Hannah Mckinney. These awards show direct individual support in addition to organizational research funding.
