Santa Barbara’s Ridley-Tree Cancer Center awarded $4.2M to fuels services and access to care 

The Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara has awarded more than $4.2 million to Ridley-Tree Cancer Center to sustain comprehensive cancer care programs in Santa Barbara, California. The funding supports an array of services, including clinical research, patient navigation, nutrition, and financial assistance, many offered free to patients. The annual grantmaking, ongoing since the center’s 2017 opening, is not structured as an endowment but as recurring program support. The investment aims to reduce travel burdens and expand access to high-quality, local treatment, ensuring patients receive integrated care close to home.
