Essential Needs Grant Program for Cancer Patients

The Essential Needs Grant Program for Cancer Patients, part of the Ray of Hope Cancer Foundation in Eagle, CO, is dedicated to offering crucial financial assistance to individuals battling cancer who are facing challenges in meeting their basic daily needs due to the overwhelming medical costs of treatment. This program provides vital support through grants, aimed at both adult and pediatric patients currently undergoing active treatment or recovering within the first month post-treatment. Each month, the Grants Committee reviews applications that include a Medical Verification from a healthcare professional, prioritizing those with financial hardships and limited medical insurance. Typically, grants of $750 for adults and $1,000 for children are available on a one-time, annual basis, or twice in a lifetime, with the possibility of emergency grants for urgent situations that can be approved within 48 hours based on a caseworker’s assessment. We are committed to ensuring that cancer patients in our community receive the essential support they need during their treatment journey.
