About Angel Foundation
Angel Foundation™ is a Twin Cities-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to provide support to local adults with cancer and their families. For more than twenty years, their programs have ensured that individuals and families have the resources they need throughout their cancer journey. The Angel Foundation™ has a mission to offer relief to adults with cancer and their loved ones through financial assistance, education, and emotional support.
Angel Foundation Programs
EMERGENCY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Emergency Financial Assistance provides support to adult cancer patients by relieving some of their immediate financial concerns. Grants help with basic, non-medical bills such as food, gas, rent or mortgage, and utilities, and can help provide comfort and peace of mind during the overwhelming months following a cancer diagnosis.
FINANCIAL CANCER CARE
Financial Cancer Care connects cancer patients with a Social Worker and a Pro Bono Certified Financial Planner™ through educational workshops and one-on-one meetings. The goal of the program is to provide a road map for patients to help decrease anxiety about managing finances as they navigate the potentially devastating effects of cancer-related financial toxicity.
ADULT & FAMILY PROGRAMS
Adult and Family Programs provide free education and emotional support for children, adults, and families. They are designed to help adults talk to children about cancer; help children understand what cancer is and how it is treated; and help families and individuals after you or someone you love is diagnosed with cancer.
Adult & Family Programs Cont.
- Education: Evidence-based offering developed by Standford University for all ages on topics like nutrition, managing chronic pain, staying active, and much more.
- Making Memories: Opportunities for families to attend sporting events, theater productions, and other fun activities. A cancer diagnosis can limit finances for extras like entertainment and dining out, but Angel Foundation™ understands the importance of spending time together.
- Angel Packs™: Age-appropriate resources for caregivers and children to help better understand something as complicated as a cancer diagnosis.
- Family Camp Angel: Traditional day camp for children, pre-teens, and teens who have a parent with cancer.
