Overview

Mission

The Sid Weber Memorial Cancer Fund provides assistance for Rabun County, Georgia cancer patients and their caregivers. We provide funds for non-medical needs such as: rent, groceries, mortgage payments, repairs, and utility bills. We also provided gas cards to help patients travel back and forth from their treatments. 54 families received assistance in 2025.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, our program provided targeted financial assistance to cancer patients and their caregivers, with a per-patient cap of $3,500.00, delivering direct payments for essential needs such as automotive repairs and car payments, home and auto insurance, home repairs, rent and mortgage payments, and property taxes, as well as cellphone service and utilities (water, power, and propane). We also addressed food and transportation insecurity by providing groceries through both Walmart gift cards and a monthly partnership with a locally owned grocery store, and by issuing gas cards to help cover travel to and from treatments. These coordinated supports were designed to reduce financial strain, remove barriers to care, and help patients focus on their treatment and recovery.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 77% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
