Foundation Programs

TUCC Foundation supports and contributes in the following five overarching areas:

  • COLLABORATION: TUCC Foundation fosters collaborative relationships among community clinics, educational support groups and social services agencies to provide assistance to those who would not otherwise receive necessary urologic care.
  • FAMILY: TUCC Foundation supports TUCC employees through personal hardship.
  • COMMUNITY: TUCC Foundation contributes to the needs of our local community.
  • EDUCATION: TUCC Foundation develops comprehensive educational initiatives to raise awareness of urologic conditions and support urology-based research and provides assistance to those entering the health care field.
  • RESEARCH: TUCC Foundation makes contributions to medical and urologic specific research that improves urologic cancer and non-cancer diagnoses, standards of care and treatments.

With continued funding for research and education, TUCC Foundation can build a coalition dedicated to raising awareness of these diseases and find ways to improve cure rates. Below is a brief description of five TUCC Foundation funds to which you can make a donation.

Patient Assistance Fund

TUCC Foundation’s Patient Assistance Fund (PAF) provides monetary assistance to families in need that include one or more members who have been diagnosed with a urologic illness. These individuals must be receiving treatment for that illness in Colorado. TUCC patients are eligible to receive assistance from the PAF as well as individuals who are receiving treatment at other Colorado medical centers.

We know that medical bills can quickly add up to an overwhelming amount. We also realize that often times this financial burden carries over into an individual’s ability to pay for their day to day basic needs. The PAF was created with the intention of assisting patients in meeting their critical, non-medical financial responsibilities.

Employee Emergency Fund

TUCC Foundation’s Employee Emergency Fund  provides assistance to TUCC employees who have experienced a catastrophic, life-altering event or an unexpected emergency situation. This grant is open to all regular full-time and part-time TUCC employees.

Community Outreach Fund

Through the Community Outreach Fund, TUCC Foundation makes needed contributions to our community and other domestic and foreign charitable organizations.

Educational Outreach Fund

The Educational Outreach Fund (EOF) continues TUCC’s history of promoting and facilitating educational programs that increase awareness of urologic conditions among individuals, TUCC patients and their caregivers. The fund provides patients with the information necessary to live with and obtain high quality care for such illnesses. Through the EOF, TUCC Foundation strives to raise awareness of the importance of annual screenings and healthy lifestyles so that urologic conditions can be prevented.

Programs include, but are not limited to, support groups for patients with urologic diseases and their families and friends, pamphlets and other educational materials and presentations by dietitians, psychologists and urologists.

Research Fund

The Research Fund makes contributions to support medical and urologic specific research that improves urologic cancer and non-cancer diagnoses, standards of care and treatments.
