After a tumultous and short-lived breakup between the two nonprofits in February, Susan G. Komen for the Cure is sending grant money Planned Parenthood’s way.
At least 17 Planned Parenthood affiliates will be receiving funding from their local Komen organizations, according to a report out in the Washington Post.
The move comes as the breast cancer foundation continues to reforge ties after an unsuccessful attempt to stop funding the sexual and reproductive healthcare provider’s breast-health services.
Last month, Komen founder Nancy Brinker sent a letter to Congress apologizing for “mistakes that ultimately raised questions in the community about our commitment to the mission of saving lives,” she wrote.
Komen has for several years provided funding to Planned Parenthood for breast cancer screening and other breast health services, as The Times reported when the controversy first broke.
