Mission: Needs Beyond Medicine is a nonprofit organization dedicated to decreasing the burden of cancer for individuals undergoing treatment. We achieve this by providing vital financial assistance for non-medical expenses and conducting community outreach and educational initiatives that promote early detection and cancer awareness.
Vision: To ensure every cancer patient, regardless of geography, has access to the vital resources they need to focus on healing.
The Relief Program
The Need: Cancer treatment often leads to "financial toxicity"—a reality where basic survival costs become impossible to meet during a health crisis.
The Action: We provide $575 grants to adults in active treatment to cover essential costs like rent, mortgages, utilities, and groceries.
The Goal: We aim to distribute 180+ grants annually to residents currently in need.
Educational Outreach
The Action: We host at least 6 annual community seminars focused on cancer risk factors, preventative screenings, and early symptoms.
The Impact: We empower the public with the knowledge to seek help early, when cancer is most treatable. All seminars are free to attend.
