Overview

About The Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation (CBTF) was founded in 1988 by a group of dedicated parents, physicians, and friends to improve the treatment, quality of life, and the long term outlook for children with brain and spinal cord tumors through research, support, education, and advocacy to families and survivors. In addition to providing funds to research a cure, the organization is the nation’s leader in quality of life programs for families impacted by brain and spinal cord tumors. We support families from the day of diagnosis and throughout the brain tumor journey. CBTF believes in the importance of being responsive to the needs of everyone in the brain tumor community regardless of their racial/ethnic background. We believe in the importance of a culture that values people of all racial/ ethnic backgrounds. We value the many identities that an individual brings to the community and honor and appreciate the intersections of these identities. Our practice values respect, integrity and honesty. We are committed to inclusiveness. The Jenna’s Rainbow Moving Forward Grant Thank you for applying for the Jenna's Rainbow Foundation Moving Forward Grant. The purpose of this grant is to provide financial assistance to help an adult brain or spinal cord tumor survivor move into a new chapter of life or manage challenges resulting from their diagnosis or treatment impacting their independence. The goal is to provide the survivor with financial assistance to make a transition or attain the resources needed to empower them to move forward. The Moving Forward Grant may be used for costs associated with transitioning to a new job, a new position or a new living situation (security deposit, moving expenses etc.); acquiring resources to obtain a job (computer, phone, car repair, driving lessons, etc.) or more independence (hearing aids, adaptive equipment or skill building classes, etc.).  Awards are given to survivors who have faced adversity and for whom financial assistance will help enable them to fulfill their goals of moving forward.
