Be the Match provides financial grants for families going through bone marrow transplants. They offer different grants depending on where you are in the process. Before transplant, they help cover expenses like copays, food, and gas. After transplant, they provide grants for out-of-pocket expenses if you had your transplant within the last three years using an unrelated donor.

They also have specialized grants for graft-versus-host disease treatment costs, clinical trial travel expenses, and fertility preservation for sickle cell patients preparing for transplant. In financial emergencies that could prevent transplant or impact recovery, they offer crisis grants. Most grants average $1,000 to $1,500, and families can receive multiple different types of grants. To qualify, your household income typically needs to be below 350% of the federal poverty level, and they look at last month's income rather than last year's since treatment often affects work.
