About Hogs for the Cause

Hogs for the Cause Inc. centers its grantmaking on pediatric brain cancer and the family burdens that come with treatment, with a strong emphasis on housing and hospital-based support. Its largest recent grants show that pattern clearly: a $500,000 pledge to Our Lady of the Lake Foundation for Hogs House patient assistance housing, followed by a $225,000 grant to Children's Hospital New Orleans for Hogs House patient assistance housing annual costs. The foundation also backed facility and program support at children's hospitals, including a $100,000 grant to Prisma Health Children's Hospital for a pediatric hematology-oncology unit. The organization pairs that hospital support with direct help for families. In 2023, it gave $20,000 to Ochsner Clinic Foundation for the Patient Assistance Piggy Bank Fund and $10,000 to East Tennessee Children's Hospital for a pediatric oncology patient assistance fund. A separate $11,500 grant supported Kids Join the Fight for pediatric brain cancer research and families with children with brain cancer. That mix shows a funder working across treatment settings, from hospital infrastructure to family-level assistance, with recurring support for housing tied to children's cancer care.

What Hogs for the Cause Funds

Family housing is a defining part of the foundation’s work. It gave $500,000 to Our Lady of the Lake Foundation for Hogs House patient assistance housing pledge and $225,000 to Children's Hospital New Orleans for Hogs House patient assistance housing annual costs, showing support for on-campus lodging tied to treatment. Hospital-based oncology support is another clear area. A $199,998 grant to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Foundations Inc supported a pediatric oncology fund, while $100,000 went to Prisma Health Children's Hospital for a pediatric hematology-oncology unit. The foundation also funds direct patient and family assistance. It provided $20,000 to Ochsner Clinic Foundation for the Patient Assistance Piggy Bank Fund and $10,000 to East Tennessee Children's Hospital for a pediatric oncology patient assistance fund. Research support appears as well through $11,500 to Kids Join the Fight for pediatric brain cancer research and families.

How Hogs for the Cause Gives

Typical grant size ranges from $13,625 at the 25th percentile to $90,000 at the median, with a 75th percentile of $218,750. The recent list includes both modest operating-style awards and large capital pledges, including a $500,000 housing pledge and a $6,860 general-support grant.

The active programs show a mix of direct family grants and hospital/public charity grants, and several programs accept unsolicited requests. Some direct family grants require submission through a social worker or doctor at the child’s treating facility.
