Grant Program

The American Childrens Cancer Benevolence Fund (ACCBF) is dedicated to providing essential financial support to families in Carbondale, IL, facing the challenges of childhood cancer and to cancer survivors within four years of remission. Our Grant Program offers critical assistance for a variety of needs, including housing, utilities, food, medical expenses, prescriptions, transportation for medical appointments, and lodging during treatment away from home. Each request for aid is thoughtfully reviewed on a case-by-case basis, ensuring that support is tailored to the unique circumstances of the applicants and aligned with available funding. Payments are made directly to service providers, ensuring that the support reaches those in need promptly and effectively, helping to alleviate the financial burden that often accompanies a cancer diagnosis.
