American Life Fund partners with trusted non-profit cancer organizations that connect patients with cancer financial assistance programs, caregiver and patient support, educational resources, and medical treatment services. Through our partnerships with these organizations, we’re able to provide more resources than ever to cancer patients in need. Nonprofit cancer organizations offer important support to cancer patients by providing financial help, educational materials, and emotional support.
For example, the Breast Cancer Alliance funds research and supports underserved patients. The Colon Cancer Coalition promotes prevention through increased screening and provides educational resources. The Colorectal Cancer Alliance and the National Pancreatic Cancer Foundation also offer services like clinical trial information and financial aid for everyday costs.
