A Strategic Pause for a Stronger Tomorrow

Like many nonprofits, Cancer Legal Care is needing to reimagine the way we deliver our services in the face of threats to our funding in the current environment.  To do this thoughtfully and strategically, our intake line and services for new clients will be paused until Monday, June 23, 2025.

During this time, we’ll assess how to maximize our impact with the resources and unique talents we have, ensuring we’re prepared for potential funding challenges.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support. We look forward to providing updated information about our services after Monday, June 23, 2025.

What does this mean for our clients?

Cancer Legal Care is not closing.

For our current clients: your attorney will be in touch with you during this two week pause if there are matters that need to be addressed in your case.

For new clients: if your matter is urgent, please visit lawhelpmn.org. Otherwise, our intake form will reopen on Monday, June 23, 2025. We look forward to connecting with you then.

What does this mean for Cancer Legal Care?

Cancer Legal Care is committed to Minnesotans facing cancer. To address the financial uncertainty as a direct result of the federal administration’s actions and threats to nonprofits, we have made difficult staffing decisions and are examining other steps we can take to make sure we are here to support Minnesotans facing cancer well into the future.

How you can help:

Make a gift, tell a friend about us, and join us in our commitment to facing these unexpected challenges. Together, our community of goodness can weather these incredibly uncertain times.
