The Cancer Coalition of America (CCA) is a nonprofit organization that provides grants to patients who can no longer afford the treatment that is helping them.

Some news can be as devastating as the diagnosis of cancer. This happens when patients who are responding to a treatment discover their insurance company will not pay or will no longer pay for that treatment. The threats to their psychological, physical, and financial well-being can be overwhelming.
Local fundraising can be one way of raising money, however, organizing fund-raisers can be time-consuming, perhaps the last thing patients and their families have in time of fighting for survival. This is where the Cancer Coalition of America comes in.

|
One of the foremost goals of the CCA is to fill a need that has not been addressed to date by any nonprofit cancer organization:
To ensure that when a patient is responding to a treatment - whether it be traditional, alternative, or experimental - funds are available if the patient no longer can afford to continue paying for that treatment.

The CCA provides grants to patients for various aspects of care that health insurance does not cover. A special volunteer committee of professionals and lay persons provides guidelines for recipients.
