Donate

We work hard to maximize the impact of your gift. BCEF does not receive public funding. We rely on a community of individuals, corporations and private foundations to fund our work.

Individual Donations

Your donation can mean many things to a person with breast cancer. Each BCEF client receives individualized support tailored to the most urgent unmet need. Whether it’s a telephone to stay connected with doctors, rent to prevent eviction or funds to help fill a prescription, BCEF makes sure that your donation has an immediate impact.

How Your Gift Can Help a Person Battling Breast Cancer:

	$10 can cover the cost of prescription co-payments for hormonal regimens after initial treatment
	$25 can purchase uninsured pharmacy items such as specialized skin creams for radiation burns, vitamins and supplements
	$50 can pay a telephone bill to stay in touch with doctors and support networks
	$100 can maintain essential utilities including electricity, water and garbage
	$250 can cover health insurance while in treatment
