Overview

Mission

Cancer alliance network, inc. (the "organization- and/or "can"), is a Florida not-for-profit corporation established in october 2002 as cancer alliance of naples, inc. And changed its name to cancer alliance network, inc. On march 11, 2022. Cans physical office is in bonita springs in lee county. Can was named 2025 nonprofit of the year by swfl, inc. Cans mission is to help individuals and families facing a cancer diagnosis receive the dignity they deserve by offering non-medical financial assistance for essential everyday living expenses and other vital support programs. Services are provided to children and adults diagnosed with any type of cancer in collier and lee counties, and to children only in hendry and glades counties. Cans vision is to enhance the quality of life and improve outcomes for individuals and families in southwest Florida who are dealing with a cancer diagnosis.

What it reported doing in 2024

For cancer alliance networks (can) clients, a cancer diagnosis brings extra expenses such as copays, prescriptions, and other unforeseen medical needs. Additionally, there's a heightened demand for travel to medical and treatment appointments. Cans financial assistance program provides financial aid in instances where cancer often hinders a patient and/or caregiver's ability to work. This program is free of charge and is for clients who are currently undergoing cancer treatment or are in hospice care and meet income eligibility. Can enrolls patients and families who are up to 250% of the federal poverty guidelines and have been residents of an eligible county for a minimum of six months. This financial support includes rent/mortgage payments, insurance, utility bills, phone bills, grocery/gas gift cards, childcare, vehicle payments, vehicle repairs, and sadly sometimes funeral assistance. The burden of a cancer diagnosis adds to the daily stressors of life, and these families strive to stay afloat, often underestimating the stress brought on by cancer. Can acts as a safety net for these families when they have nowhere else to turn. In fiscal year 2024-2025, cans financial assistance program provided non- medical financial aid to 273 families and 650 individuals touched by cancer. Can made 4,402 non-medical payments directly to vendors on behalf of clients who were undergoing cancer treatment and provided an annual total of 622,076 in direct non-medical financial aid.
