Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana has received a $39,000 grant from the Lincoln Financial Foundation to support the Client Advocate Program. This program provides practical assistance and compassionate support to people in our community with cancer. This support will ensure that local families that are touched by cancer will receive financial assistance, educational resources and emotional support to reduce the burden of the cancer diagnosis.

Lincoln Financial Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Lincoln Financial Group, believes in empowering people to live greater lives, which advances culture and empowers greater positive change. Its grant is part of Lincoln Financial’s annual $10 million investment in its local communities’ youth education, economic and workforce development, human well-being and arts programs.
