About Us
Our Mission
To provide individuals in financial need, their families and their loved ones with education, support, and access to early detection.
The American Breast Cancer Foundation was established in 1997 as a way for people to have access to early detection and a chance for survival. Each year, we receive thousands of calls from women and men in need of our help. Approximately 50 percent of those callers will already have symptoms of breast cancer.
The American Breast Cancer Foundation is able to provide financial assistance and hope when all seems lost. We are the only national breast cancer organization providing direct financial assistance to uninsured and underserved individuals for the screening, diagnosis, treatment and survival of breast cancer. The ABCF Key to Life Breast Cancer Assistance Program provides breast cancer patients with financial assistance for support items such as emergency treatment, wigs, prostheses and medications. Critical information and referral services are provided to support patients and their families.
To best serve all populations throughout the United States Spanish speaking staff and third party translation services are available to accommodate most languages. ABCF supports research for innovative diagnostic, treatment and patient support methods through leading medical institutions.
The American Breast Cancer Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization guided by a volunteer board of directors. We invite you to join in our mission to give hope to every person threatened by breast cancer. Every act, every gift and every person can make a difference.
