Rush County Cancer Fund Grant

The Rush County Cancer Fund was established in 2007 by Alvin Eugene Smith and Mable Smith to assist Rush County residents experiencing financial hardships due to a cancer diagnosis. Applicants must have a cancer diagnosis and reside in Rush County. A sponsoring organization, such as a church, social service agency, or healthcare provider, must submit the application on behalf of the individual or family in need. The grant provides up to $1,000 per household per year, with payments made directly to third-party debtors such as healthcare providers or utility companies. Applications are reviewed monthly, and it may take up to 60 days to receive notice of funding.
