Financial Cancer Care

Half of all Minnesotans will receive a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime, and 74% of those will struggle financially due to that diagnosis. That struggle, known as cancer-related financial toxicity, can cause skipped doctor appointments, rationing of medication, as well as increased stress and depression.

Angel Foundation, in partnership with Ameriprise Financial, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, AbbVie, and with support from the Financial Planning Association of Minnesota and the Foundation for Financial Planning, has launched a pilot program to help combat this growing problem.

Who is eligible for Angel Foundation’s Financial Cancer Care program?

  • Must be over 18 years of age and financially independent.
  • Must have a cancer diagnosis.
  • Must be in active treatment (chemotherapy, radiation, bone marrow transplant, hospice, palliative care or surgery with a recovery time in excess of four weeks.)
  • Must be living in or treated in the seven-county metro area of Minnesota (Ramsey, Dakota, Washington, Anoka, Hennepin, Carver or Scott Counties).
  • Must not be currently working with a financial planner.
