The financial burden of cancer is
a life or death problem.
For some cancer patients, an empty tank of gas could be the reason they don't make it to treatment today.

Our mission
Removing the financial barriers standing between cancer patients and their treatment.
Family Reach is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides non-medical financial support to families facing cancer. Treatment requires more than medicine — families need a roof over their heads and food on their tables to survive. If a family can’t meet these basic needs, cancer treatment takes a back seat. We work with patients, providers, and community organizations to challenge the systems that force families to choose between their health and their home. Together, we’re making financial treatment a standard of cancer care.
Our services
Family Reach helps cancer patients and caregivers with non-medical expenses. Our free services include:
- Financial assistance covers everyday expenses like food, housing, and utilities
- Resource navigation provides personalized referrals to local and federal support programs
- Guidebook + tip sheets equip you with important financial information
Our core values
Our core values are the guiding principles that inform and inspire how we fulfill our mission. Rooted in our history and positioned for the future, they keep us grounded in what makes us Family Reach.
