We want to be a rainbow in cancer patients' stormy clouds! - Ronald J. Avery, Founder

Cancer patients and their families shouldn't have to scrape by. As an organization that helps cancer patients financially, the Avery Foundation alleviates that stress by providing grants to pay for unexpected expenses.

In 2022, we awarded 250 grants, reaching over $109,000, to cancer patients and their families in the Tri-State area. We paid for gas, meals and hotel rooms thanks to donations from donors like you.

To find out how you can get involved, contact our Dubuque, IA organization today.

Grant Application

The Avery Foundation will help patients and their families with the unexpected expenses of travel, meals and lodging during their treatments out of town or patients traveling into Dubuque for treatments. For example: If your physician refers you to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota we would help pay for fuel, meals while there and your lodging. Receipts must be kept for meals and lodging and sent in with the Grant Application. We would also help if a patient is traveling into Dubuque from Galena with their fuel and meals. These expenses add undue stress into an already stressful time for you. That is why we are here. To relieve some of that stress and let you concentrate all your bodily resources to the battle at hand.
