Financial Cancer Care CFP Toolkit

FINANCIAL CANCER CARE (FCC)

The Financial Cancer Care program connects cancer patients in Minnesota with a social worker and a pro bono Certified Financial Planner™ through a workshop and one-on-one meetings. The goal of the Financial Cancer Care program is to provide financial education, decrease anxiety about managing finances, and provide peace of mind as individuals and families impacted by cancer are navigating the overwhelming effects of cancer-related financial toxicity.

Objectives

  • Provide financial education, decrease anxiety about managing finances, and provide peace of mind.
  • Help clients diagnosed with cancer find resources and options available to them.
  • Offer families financial planning: a resource they may not otherwise have had access to.
  • Build a network of support for clients by connecting them with a Social Worker and a Pro Bono Certified Financial Planner™.
