According to data released by the foundation itself, Susan G Komen spent the bulk of its funds on “Public health education,” i.e. pinkifying cancer in 2009-2010. At the same time, only 5.6% is spent on actual treatment—less than what is spent on fund-raising and on administrative costs.
In numbers this adds up to $75.4 million spent on research, $140.8 million on public health education, $46.9 million spent on health screening services, and $20.1 million on treatment. Fund raising and administrative costs added up to $36.1 million and $40.6 million, respectively.
As a sidenote, about a million dollars was spent on bullying other cancer organizations and charities out of using the term “cure” in their campaigns as seen here and here.
