Surrounding western Montanans on their health journey is a vital part of our mission and impact. The generosity of our community provides helpful and hopeful patient assistance through limited grants from donor-supported funds. These funds support care-related costs in the areas of breast health and oncology.

Patients with demonstrated financial need are eligible to apply after other resources – including insurance and other forms of compensation – have been evaluated, exhausted or are not available. All applications are confidentially reviewed by our grant committee for their funding recommendation

Grant applications are accepted on a rolling basis and approved grants are typically limited to $500 per patient, per 12-month period. Please allow up to 30 days for the committee to make their funding recommendation and decision.
