Earned Income Plan

Project details

What we need
  • Assessment and recommendations for income-generating activities that will complement the Organization's current mission and existing programs
  • Actionable steps necessary to implement recommendations, alongside estimates of upfront time and monetary investment required
  • Challenges and potential risks identified in pursuing the plan
What we have in place
  • We currently have a dedicated Development Associate, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have Board and staff support (including our CEO), and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $11,794 , allowing us to provide 32 months of health insurance premiums for young adult cancer survivors.

For The Samfund's 12 years, we've relied heavily on individual donations (through direct appeals and nationwide events) to fund our programs and operations. We have been fortunate but know that we also need to be more creative, diverse and strategic going forward. This project will help us think outside the box and develop new ways to generate revenue.

Our mission

The Samfund is designed to help young adults recover from the financial impact of cancer treatment.

What we do

The Samfund currently provides three programs to help young adults get back on their feet after treatment:

1. Direct financial assistance: since 2005, close to $1.5 million in grants has been awarded to young adults across the country, covering a wide range of needs including living expenses, medical expenses, mental and physical health and wellness, family-building, and many more.

2. Online support: The Samfund hosts a free Webinar series called "Moving Forward With Your Financial Health," designed to provide concrete and reliable information and resources surrounding a range of practical and financial issues, including employment, insurance, medical debt and more. Webinar presentations are made by financial professionals as well as representatives from other cancer organizations.

3. Finances 101: A toolkit for young adults with cancer: Launched at the end of 2014, this new program is designed to help young adults make better-informed financial decisions during and after cancer treatment so that their financial recovery doesn't become a lifelong struggle. The toolkit is currently comprised of blog posts and Webinars on selected topics, and we are currently in the process of designing an interactive decision-making tool that will be housed on our website.

Through these programs, The Samfund helps young adults get back on their feet so that they can move forward towards their goals.
