What Axiom REACH does

Axiom REACH Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization founded in 2020 (with origins traced to 2016) and headquartered in New York, operating with 1–10 employees. Its mission is combating public health disparities by aiding underserved, under-resourced patients, families, and communities facing cancer and other life-changing diagnoses. The foundation runs five core programs: Cancer Patient Support (CPS), which provides direct financial grants of up to $5,000 per patient for living expenses; Children's Cancer Fund (CCF), focused on pediatric bone marrow transplant access in Bangladesh; A.R.G.O.S., a scholarship partnership with Rutgers University for nursing and physician assistant students from underrepresented backgrounds; Starfish Initiatives, an emergency/crisis response program; and Project 1767, a breast cancer screening partnership with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute targeting 100 patients.

The organization's business model is purely donation-driven, with no products or services sold. Revenue streams include tax-deductible contributions from individual donors, corporate sponsors, matching gift programs (via Double the Donation), event-based fundraising (the annual 5K to Fight Cancer, entering its 5th year in 2026), and institutional grants. Distribution occurs through a hospital and nonprofit partner referral network — including Rutgers, Dana-Farber, University Hospital Newark, the American Cancer Society, and Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund — with social workers and care teams identifying eligible patients. Operational economics are lean: approximately 95% of expenses go to programs and under 3% to operations as of 2025.

Cumulative impact since inception exceeds $100,000 in cancer patient support, including a $10,000 grant that funded 800 patient transportation rides via UberHealth and over $76,000 donated to the Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund for pediatric oncology. The foundation holds a Charity Navigator four-star rating, a 2023 Top-Rated Award, and the Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency. It is governed by a board that includes executives from Summit Therapeutics, CG Oncology, Piper Sandler, and the founder/CEO of Axiom Healthcare Strategies.
