To help breast cancer patients survive the hardships of cancer treatments by providing emergency financial assistance.
Breast Cancer Fund of Ohio is built around emergency financial assistance for breast cancer patients, with grants routed through nonprofit service providers so funds can reach people facing treatment-related hardship. The program is designed to help cover urgent needs tied to cancer care, including housing, food, medical co-pays, prescriptions, transportation to treatments, child care during treatment, and mental health services. Its recent grants show a steady pattern of support for Ohio-based patient-serving organizations. Pink Ribbon Girls in Tipp City received the largest recent grant at $17,000 in 2025, followed by repeated awards to the same organization in 2023 and 2024. Cancer Family Care in Cincinnati also appears multiple times, including awards of $12,000 in 2025, $11,000 in 2024, and $10,000 in 2023. The foundation’s funding is directed to nonprofit providers rather than individuals, and those providers distribute assistance to specific patients. Recent awards also went to hospital and cancer-support organizations in Cleveland, Dayton, Columbus, Toledo, and Cincinnati, reflecting a statewide patient-assistance model focused on immediate needs during treatment.
The foundation’s clearest emphasis is emergency help for breast cancer patients. It gave $17,000 to Pink Ribbon Girls in Tipp City for emergency assistance, and $12,000 to Cancer Family Care in Cincinnati for the same purpose.
