Financial Assistance Program
Hawaii Children's Cancer Foundation (HCCF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that serves to assist, support, and advocate for the needs of Hawaii children diagnosed with cancer.
HCCF understands that having a child in cancer treatment can be extremely stressful in many ways. The Financial Assistance Program is designed to relieve some of the financial stress associated with having a child in cancer treatment. This program is funded through private donations within the community and is managed by HCCF’s Financial Assistance Committee (FAC) under the supervision of HCCF’s Board of Directors.
These guidelines describe the specific process through which eligible families may apply for financial assistance from HCCF, and the types of expenses that will be considered by the FAC for reimbursement.
The gathering of this information also assists HCCF in writing grant proposals that fund the mission.
