Financial Assistance

*Financial assistance update


We have received a large volume of applications and our funds are currently closed. We are responding to all applicants as quickly as possible, but our wait times are longer than usual and it may take several weeks to process some applications. We apologize for the delay and any disruptions this might cause.

You can check the status of your application by emailing [email protected].

While waiting for one of our Resource Navigators to contact you, please obtain documentation of treatment status. This is needed to determine financial assistance eligibility.

Confirm treatment status by providing either:

  • A letter from someone on your oncology team explaining the diagnosis and treatment plan
  • Contact info (direct line and/or extension) of someone on your care team. We will then reach out directly to verify your treatment. Note that a general phone number for the treatment center/hospital could delay grant approval.

Please keep an eye out for an email from an @familyreach.org address or a call from an 857 area code, as this could be one of our Resource Navigators trying to contact you.

You can still apply to receive resource navigation. We also encourage you to review our financial tips + guidebooks.

Yes! Here are some tips for talking to a healthcare professional about your financial concerns.
