What We Give

KWF provides Gifts of Fun. A Gift of Fun can be anything from a spa day, skydiving, private zoo tours, concerts, sporting events, or a trip. If it sounds like fun to the nominee we are all about it. 

KWF does not provide financial aid, home or vehicle repairs, transportation etc.

CLOSE

Who Qualifies for a Gift?

We limit gifts to those who are in active treatment or within 6 months of  active treatment for Breast Cancer. 

KWF considers chemotherapy, radiation, lumpectomy surgery and mastectomy surgeries all forms of active treatment.

What Happens After I Submit my Nomination?

Your nominee will receive an auto-email from KWF notifying them of their nomination with a link to their Recipient Information Form.

Once your nominee completes their Recipient Information Form online we will review their nomination within 2 weeks.  

KWF gives gifts of fun based on what is in our "Fun Inventory". This is an inventory of donated vacation accommodations, sporting event and concert tickets, and spa partnerships and more.

 We also give a limited number of vacations each year. Vacations are limited to those who do have any travel plans on their calendar. 

We work very personally with each recipient to find a gift that matches their interests, schedule, and wellness. Because of this, your nominee may not receive the exact gift that they requested but we can ensure that they will have an opportunity to have a Gift of Fun that aligns with their desires.

Nominee Information

Select your nominee’s Chapter location or select Non-Chapter if your nominee’s region is not listed. 

Please note that KWF provides local gifts (such as sporting event tickets, concert tickets, or spa days) only in cities where we do not have an established Chapter. This ensures that nominees in areas without local Chapter support can still enjoy meaningful experiences.

For nominations in cities with active Chapters, our team will work to match recipients with Chapter-supported gifts and experiences.

Your nominee’s medical information is not required to submit the nomination. However, if you have the information and would like to fill it out, please do so.

Once a nomination is received, the nominator will be contacted to initiate the process for completing a Recipient Information Form (RIF). Our Giving Committee (which includes at least one past recipient) reviews all RIFs and makes recommendations to the Foundation for specific Gifts of Fun. It is our goal to send as many people on vacation as possible, but as that is not always possible, the committee may select alternative gifts  based on information provided.

Do you know if the Nominee has traveled for vacation in the last 12 months or has a planned vacation in the next 12 months?
