New Mexico Cancer Center Foundation

We're a 501(c) 3 dedicated to providing support for patients facing cancer or other serious illnesses The Foundation began in 2002 as the brainchild of Drs.

Barbara McAneny and Clark Haskins. They saw that cancer was a disease that affected not just the physical body of the patient, but the entire household and the family's finances. Patients who could not afford the cost of gas or transportation to the center or a safe living environment fared worse than those that could. So to combat this disparity in care, the New Mexico Cancer Center Foundation was born. One of the unique components of this Foundation's success is that the majority of administrative expenses are underwritten by the New Mexico Cancer Center. Thus, the Foundation is able to apply almost all monies earned to assist people with their day-to-day financial challenges during their cancer treatment. We have an extraordinary group of volunteers who are willing to provide help and consultation to meet a wide range of needs for our cancer patients. Our advisory panels help with legal, educational, financial and other various needs of patients. Some volunteers assist patients and nursing staff while others work with fundraisers and administrative functions. We could not achieve the things we do on our budget without the help of such extraordinary individuals committed to making a difference in the lives of others. Find out more! The Foundation continues to grow through a wide range of activities. Throughout the year, the Foundation develops medical education programming; manages the patient advocacy and assistance programs, implements the Gallery with a Cause and various fundraising and corporate/private giving programs. The Foundation welcomes inquiries about getting involved in making a difference for cancer patients in our community. We are a hard-working, hands-on organization dedicated to improving the lives of people as they are battling cancer.

Thank you to the Albuquerque Journal for sharing our upcoming art show. Remember that proceeds from each sale help us help patients at New Mexico Cancer Center with their non-medical needs.

Gallery With A Cause is showcasing 360 works by 16 New Mexico artists to support the New Mexico Cancer Center Foundation.

At New Mexico Cancer Center healing goes beyond medicine. During National Health Center Week, we’re celebrating how our work transforms the center into a warm, welcoming environment through our Gallery With A Cause art shows.

Every quarter, our walls are filled with stunning local art - not just to inspire, but to support. Proceeds from art sales help provide patients with non-medical essentials like food, rent, and gas. It’s one more way we care for the whole person, not just the diagnosis - and why our center feels more like a community than a clinic.

The summer show is on display through August 22nd. You can see the collection and learn about upcoming shows at https://www.gallerywithacause.org/
