Essential Needs Grant Program for Cancer Patients

Located in Craig, CO, the Essential Needs Grant Program for Cancer Patients, a vital initiative of the Ray of Hope Cancer Foundation, is dedicated to assisting individuals battling cancer who are overwhelmed by medical expenses. Our program focuses on providing financial support to help meet fundamental daily needs, ensuring that patients can focus on their recovery without the added stress of financial burdens. We invite adult and pediatric patients currently undergoing treatment or recently finished with their care to apply for grants, which are reviewed monthly by our Grants Committee. To qualify, applicants must submit a Medical Verification from a healthcare professional at their treatment facility. We understand the unique challenges faced by those with limited insurance and incomes at or below the poverty level, which is why our grants offer $750 for adults and $1,000 for children, available on a one-time annual or twice-lifetime basis. In urgent situations, we can expedite an emergency grant process to deliver support within 48 hours, reflecting our commitment to meeting critical needs in times of distress.
