To fund support services for people affected by breast cancer in the Hudson Valley and to help eliminate some of the financial pressure exacerbated by a cancer diagnosis.
Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation Inc. centers grantmaking on support services for people affected by breast cancer in the Hudson Valley, with funds aimed at reducing the financial pressure that can follow a diagnosis. The largest recent award in the record is $135,000 to Cornerstone Family Healthcare in Newburgh for medical gap care, showing a preference for direct-service programs rather than general institutional support. A second large grant, $87,000 to Community Action Partnership for Dutchess County Inc. in Poughkeepsie, points to a similar focus on practical help delivered through local community organizations. The foundation’s recent awards also show a consistent commitment to patient-facing support. Grants to Breast Cancer Options in Kingston and Support Connection Inc. in Yorktown Heights connect with complementary medicine and peer-to-peer counseling, both of which fit the foundation’s stated emphasis on survivorship, counseling, and adjunct care. Smaller grants to Cancer Support Team Inc. in Mamaroneck continue that pattern of funding local providers that serve people living with breast cancer. Across the record, the foundation supports services that help residents manage the costs and daily burdens of breast cancer care.
A clear theme is medical gap care. In 2025, Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation Inc. gave $135,000 to Cornerstone Family Healthcare in Newburgh and $87,000 to Community Action Partnership for Dutchess County Inc. in Poughkeepsie for this purpose, indicating a strong interest in bridging unmet needs through local service providers. The foundation also funds supportive therapies and counseling. It awarded $17,000 to Breast Cancer Options in Kingston for complementary medicine, and $15,000 to Support Connection Inc. in Yorktown Heights for peer to peer work. Those grants align with the stated focus on survivorship and peer counseling. A third area is patient support through community-based care. The $7,500 grant to Cancer Support Team Inc. in Mamaroneck for medical gap care shows continued backing for organizations that help people affected by breast cancer access practical support close to home.
The typical grant size is tightly clustered around the mid-teens, with a p25 of $14,625, a median of $16,000, and a p75 of $61,875. That spread suggests a mix of smaller service grants and a few much larger awards. The recent record also shows repeat support to the same organizations across consecutive years: Cornerstone Family Healthcare, Community Action Partnership for Dutchess County Inc., Support Connection Inc., and Cancer Support Team Inc. all appear more than once. The foundation is a nonprofit grantmaker rather than an operating charity serving individuals directly, and it does not make program-related investments. Its grants include an unsolicited program channel in at least some programs, including Miles of Hope Grants Program, Peer-to-Peer Counseling, and Complementary Medicine Program.
