About the Grant

The Empathy in Action Grant Program provides financial assistance to brain tumor patients and caregivers with demonstrated financial need in accordance with WINKS’ charitable purposes.

 

Patients and caregivers whose annual household income is less than 300% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines are eligible for assistance under this program. 

 

WINKS awards grants of up to $1,000 per household. No more than one grant will be issued to the same household within a six-month period. 

Application Process Has Changed

Grant awards will be made on an ongoing basis, and patients and caregivers are encouraged to apply at any time. 


WINKS will award grants in alignment with its core values and without regard to race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, gender identity, and without bias. 


Applications MUST be signed by the applicant (patient or caregiver) and a nurse navigator or social worker. 


**Incomplete applications will not be considered**


Any applicant who is selected to receive a grant will be required to submit supplemental documentation, including:

  • Copies of driver’s licenses or state identification, 
  • Copies of income sources, and 
  • Copies of bank statements for the most recent three months. 


All grant awards will be conditioned on WINKS receiving supplemental documentation that is consistent with the information provided in the original application. 


Applicants will have thirty (30) days following the award to provide supplemental documentation. 


Grant awards will only be issued in the event that WINKS’ designees, in their sole and absolute discretion, determine that the supplemental documentation is consistent with the application.


Please send completed application to WINKS, P.O. Box 5186, Suffolk, VA 23435, or email to support@winksbt.org.
