ANGEL FOUNDATION™
About Us
Angel Foundation™ offers relief to adults with cancer and their loved ones through financial assistance, education, and emotional support. Since 2001, we have disbursed $14 million in direct financial aid to over 54,000 cancer patients.
Emergency Financial Assistance
Supports adult cancer patients by relieving some of their immediate financial concerns. Financial grants help with basic, non-medical bills such as rent, mortgage, utilities, food, car repair, and fuel, and provide comfort and peace of mind during the overwhelming months of diagnosis and treatment.
Financial Cancer Care
Helps patients manage the long-term financial burdens of a cancer diagnosis by connecting patients with a Social Worker and a Pro Bono Certified Financial Planner™. Our workshops and one-on-one meetings provide financial education and decrease anxiety about managing finances while navigating the overwhelming effects of cancer-related financial toxicity.
Adult and Family Programs
Provides free educational and emotional support for children, adults, and families, and are designed to help adults talk to children about cancer. The three core offerings of Adult & Family Programs are Making Memories programs that provide free activities for individuals and families, Angel Packs™ that help children understand what cancer is, and educational resources to help cancer patients through their journey.
