Saint Agatha Foundation exists to ease the financial burden of breast cancer for patients across Central New York. We provide grant funding to 501(c)(3) public charities serving breast cancer patients in our region, helping partner organizations extend their reach and serve more members of their community.

OUR CURRENT PARTNERSHIPS

The majority of our patients receiving support have it routed through the nonprofit CancerConnects, which manages the application process and administers benefits on behalf of Saint Agatha Foundation for select healthcare providers.

Each of these partner organizations manages its own process for distributing Saint Agatha’s financial assistance directly to patients in their care.

These organizations provide recovery, wellness, and everyday support services for breast cancer patients and their families across Central New York.
