Ways to Give

You can support the Cooper Cancer Institute (CCI) with a tax-deductible charitable gift in a number of ways.

A direct financial gift is the most common and convenient method of donating to CCI. You can choose to make an unrestricted gift, which means CCI will direct your gift where it is most needed, or you can designate your gift to a particular CCI fund (see list below).

A donation to CCI is a thoughtful way to celebrate a birthday, wedding, survivorship anniversary or other significant event; to pay tribute to a relative or friend; to thank an outstanding physician or caregiver; or honor the memory of a loved one. Gifts can be made online or by mail.

Cooper Cancer Institute Funds

• The Cooper Cancer Institute Fund (2514) - This fund supports CCI education programs, research efforts and patient assistance services related to all cancer types. It is through this fund that CCI provides support to patients in need. Through the Patients in Need initiative, CCI provides small grants to patients who require financial assistance to cover basic living expenses (rent, utilities and food bills) and expenses related to their care (insurance co-pays, deductibles, etc.). Patient need is evaluated and determined by CCI physicians, nurses and social work staff.
• The Dr. Diane Barton Complementary Medicine Program Fund (2718) - The Dr. Diane Barton Complementary Medicine Program offers cancer patients and their caregivers access to a year-round calendar of activities such as yoga, massage, meditation and creative expression therapies at no cost.
