What Makes The Stephanie Vest Foundation so Different?
We are not curing cancer; our goal is more basic: We are keeping people in their home, with the utilities on, while they go through treatment.
The Stephanie Vest Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. We offer financial and emotional support to parents facing a cancer crisis. Proceeds from fundraisers benefit Kansas City metro cancer patients and their families.

They All Matter
Our organization helps all types of cancer patients. Men and women are both eligible for grants, as we do not focus on just one type of illness. Unfortunately, cancer does not discriminate, and we are here to help no matter what cancer battle you are facing.
Through the AmazonSmile program, you can help us kick off our donations by designating The Stephanie Vest Foundation to receive (as a donation) 0.5% of the price of all Amazon purchases you make. Your purchase costs remain the same. Every purchase you make through our Amazon Smile link will help a local family in crisis.
When you hear the word cancer….it changes everything. They understand the emotions that are involved so there’s already a connection.
