Grant Program

The American Childrens Cancer Benevolence Fund (ACCBF) grants vital financial support to families in Springfield, IL, who are navigating the challenges of childhood cancer, as well as to survivors within four years of remission. Our Grant Program offers assistance for essential needs such as housing, utilities, food, medical expenses, prescriptions, transportation to medical appointments, and even funeral costs when necessary. Each request for support is carefully evaluated on a case-by-case basis, based on the needs outlined in the Benevolence Request Application and our available funds. The approved assistance is provided directly to service providers to ensure that families receive the help they need without delay, emphasizing our commitment to supporting those facing the impacts of childhood cancer with dignity and care.
