Cops Fighting Cancer Fund
Fund Overview
The Cops Fighting Cancer Fund (the Fund) provides one-time assistance to cancer patients and their families in crisis. A situation is considered a crisis on a case-by-case basis, but it is generally a single, unexpected, and unfortunate circumstance an individual is experiencing at a given point in their life. It is the hope of Cops Fighting Cancer (CFC) that through the Fund, we are able to support individuals facing difficult times in an immediate, personal and direct manner. The ultimate goal of the assistance is to help the person/family regain or remain self-sufficient.
In the best of circumstances, it is hoped that CFC Fund’s support would be a supplement and support to assist an overall and larger effort that is already being provided by a social service/medical agency or faith-based organization within the community. Monetary support is only one piece of the help people need in a time of crisis. We encourage all requests for assistance to seek out all resources within their community simultaneous to submitting a request to the Fund.
Confidentiality of Gift Giving
Cops Fighting Cancer gifts are by design a program that is intended to be out of public awareness whenever possible and appropriate. Cops Fighting Cancer conducts much of this type of emergency support anonymously and it is the intent of CFC to maintain the same degree of anonymity with its awards. While CFC is in the public eye in its efforts to raise awareness and resources, the privacy and dignity of all grant requests and awards will be protected unless and until other arrangements warrant a more public posture. Therefore, the existence of the Fund is generally kept between CFC, our Referral Agency Partners, and the individual recipients of CFC support.
Since 2003 your generous gifts have helped over 150 Colorado families deal with this terrible disease!
