Honest answers for cancer patients exploring their life insurance options
Cancerfunding.net is an educational platform that helps cancer patients and their families understand whether a life or viatical settlement might make sense for them. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn't. Either way, we believe you deserve clear, plain-English information before you decide anything.
Who we are
Cancer Funding was founded to give cancer patients an honest, pressure-free way to learn about selling a life insurance policy when they need cash. We are an educational resource, not a settlement provider ourselves. We work in collaboration with The Settlement Group, Inc., a licensed life and viatical settlement provider operating in 39 states.
We don’t pressure. We don’t oversell. And when a settlement doesn’t look like your best option, we say so.
What makes us different
Much of the settlement industry is optimized to close deals. We’re optimized to help patients understand their choices, even when the answer is “don’t sell.” We publish our “when we say no” case studies because we think trust is earned by showing your work.
“We recently walked a patient through why selling didn’t make sense for him. His accelerated death benefit rider would pay nearly as much, with less paperwork. He’d never have learned that from a sales call.”
Nothing on this site is legal, financial, tax, or benefits advice. Before making any decision about your life insurance policy or anything that could affect means-tested benefits like Medicaid, talk with licensed professionals who know your full situation.
Who you’ll work with
Every patient works with a licensed life settlement specialist (not a call center). Our team includes former oncology social workers, licensed insurance professionals, and certified elder law paralegals. We hold ourselves accountable to a “patient first” standard.
How we’re paid
We never charge patients. Our compensation comes from the providers who purchase your policy, and only when a settlement closes successfully. This means we’re motivated to find the best fit for your situation, not to push you into anything.
