“There are no other agencies doing exactly what we do,” Nancy explained. “We don’t look at income because cancer isn’t income-based—it hits everyone. So many people can’t work during treatment and lose their income entirely. That’s where we step in.”
The ongoing support made possible by the Foundation’s endowed funds ensures that the Cancer Society can continue its mission year after year. Unlike one-time fundraising efforts, these funds provide a consistent payout, offering stability in an increasingly challenging fundraising landscape.
“Because people set up these funds years ago, we’re able to make a difference today,” Nancy reflected. “The payout we receive each year decreases the stress of fundraising. It lets us focus on helping patients instead of constantly worrying about where the next dollar will come from.”
