About Us
Who we are:
The Cancer Foundation of Northeast Georgia (CFNEGA) is a local 501(c)3 non-profit that provides emergency financial assistance for basic life needs such as housing, utilities, food and medications. The ultimate goal of The CFNEGA is to provide emergency monetary assistance to cancer patients living in Northeast Georgia.
Why we were founded:
The physicians of Northeast Georgia Cancer Care, LLC. founded The CFNEGA in 2005 after treating a growing number of patients in need of financial assistance. When someone is diagnosed with cancer, the entire family suffers—not just emotionally but also financially. Thus, the Financial Assistance Program helps alleviate a cancer patient’s immediate financial crisis and the debilitating stress that stems from his or her diagnosis. The CFNEGA wants to improve the quality of life for cancer patients living in our community.
Our Mission:
The Cancer Foundation of Northeast Georgia is a non-profit organization whose mission is to help alleviate the financial burden of cancer for eligible patients.
Our Vision:
To eradicate the financial hardship for all Northeast Georgia residents who are diagnosed with cancer.
