The Women's Fund Grant for New Day Foundation for Families

The Women’s Fund likes writing checks! But, even better is getting to see how the funds change lives!

Last year the Women’s Fund provided the New Day Foundation for Families with a $2500 grant for their Single Parent Program to provide financial assistance, emotional resources and profound hope to single mothers and their children while they are facing cancer.

Diane is a beautiful, hardworking, dedicated single mother to her daughter and has been fighting hard the last year and a half in a battle against Colon Cancer. Diane first came to New Day in 2015 at the beginning of her journey, and now New Day is stepping in again to provide support through home mortgage, taxes and some new clothing for Diane and her daughter. “We know it’s been a long battle but we have been and will continue to support and pray for this amazing woman, mother and fighter!” said Heather Blasko, Public Relations for New Day Foundation for Families.

New Day Foundation for Families mission is to reduce the effects of financial toxicity and have a positive impact on treatment outcomes and survivorship through financial assistance and emotional support programs for cancer patients and their families.

Over the past 16 years, the Women's Fund has donated more than $300,000 to organizations helping women. The fund is a permanently endowed fund owned and administered by the Community Foundation of Greater Rochester. Through grant-making, the Fund provides ongoing and future support for programs that aid women while preserving and managing its donations in perpetuity by spending only the fund's income and annual earnings.
