Frequently Asked Questions
Family Reach is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to removing the financial barriers standing between a cancer patient and their treatment. Driven by the recognition that the financial burden of cancer is too big of a problem to solve alone, Family Reach launched The LiFT Network in 2018 to increase the collective impact of nonprofits working in this space.
LiFT represents the phrase “eliminating financial toxicity.”
Family Reach developed the Financial Treatment Program to expand its services beyond emergency relief grants. The program expansion was made possible by insight from over 48,000 patients and caregivers, collaboration with providers at more than 500 hospitals and cancer centers, and partnership from organizations like the Foundation for Financial Planning and Financial Planning Association.
