Grant Request

Grant Program

Since 1999, Jenna’s Rainbow Foundation has been an important resource for families facing the financial strain of a child’s brain or spinal cord tumor diagnosis. Over our 27 years, we have helped hundreds of families ease burdens and improve quality of life during an extraordinarily difficult journey.

During COVID, we temporarily expanded our reach in response to nationwide need. Due to the increasing volume of requests and our commitment to responsibly stewarding our resources, we have returned to our original geographic focus.

Eligibility

Families may be considered for assistance if:

  • A child was diagnosed with a brain or spinal cord tumor prior to their 21st birthday
  • The family resides in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, or Connecticut

How to Request an Application

To ensure that funds are distributed to families with verified medical need, all grant requests must be initiated by a licensed social worker, case manager, or medical professional affiliated with the child’s treating institution.

Accredited professionals may request an application by contacting:
sharon@jennasrainbow.org

We encourage families outside of these states to seek support through other organizations, including the Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation (CBTF.org).
