Grants for Individuals:
Mary Alice Bosseler Wigs for Cancer Patients Fund

This Fund is dedicated to women who are struggling financially and cannot afford a quality wig to address the hair loss that often accompanies cancer treatment. The stress, anxiety and vulnerability that comes with a woman’s changing appearance is compounded when she does not have the means to address those changes in a way that makes her feel comfortable or secure. The intent of this Fund is to give women with financial need a path forward if they feel a well-made wig would improve their
outlook, safeguard their privacy, increase their self-confidence and provide them strength as they continue their recovery journey.

The Details:

  • Intended to assist women in the Southern Tier currently in treatment for cancer.
  • Recipients must demonstrate a financial need for assistance.
  • Each grant not to exceed $300 per individual.
  • Program-approved hairstylists must be used.
  • Grants awarded will be payable directly to the hairstylists.
  • Grant approval is at the discretion of Fund for Women.
  • Expected turn around time less than one week from application approval.

How to Apply

  1. Complete an application form with your case manager at the cancer treatment center or download an application.
  2. Mail or e-mail the application form to the Fund for Women for wig approval.
  3. Once approved, call one of the program-approved hairstylists listed on the application to make an appointment for consultation.
  4. Your hairstylist will order your chosen wig.
  5. When the wig arrives, the hairstylist will call you to schedule the fitting appointment.
