The Pink Anchor Fund

We are currently accepting donations to grow this initiative and expand the number of families we can serve. Every contribution — big or small — helps us meet urgent needs and bring peace of mind to women in treatment.

The purpose of The Pink Anchor Fund is to provide financial relief to minority women & mothers under the age of 40 currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer or have recently completed treatment or surgery. The fund will assist with medical and household-related expenses to reduce stress and improve quality of life for both the patient and their children.

Support Areas May Include:

​

  • Rent or mortgage payments

  • Utilities (water, gas, electricity)

  • Medical bills or co-pays

  • Childcare or school-related costs

  • Transportation to medical appointments

  • Medical supplies (wigs, mastectomy bras, post-surgery garments, etc.)

  • Food assistance or grocery gift cards

Eligibility Requirements

 

Applicants must:

  • Identify as a woman of color  

  • Can be a mother/mother figure with at least one dependent child (will be considered if they are primary care givers or contribute at least 50% to the care of the children)

  • Have a current diagnosis of breast cancer and be in active treatment (chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, etc.) OR be no more than 3 months out of treatment

Note: To serve more families in need, each mother/family may receive support from The Pink Anchor Fund only once within a calendar year. Past recipients of other APCF programs may apply but preference may be given to new applicants.​
