How To Apply For Assistance From Pink Wig

We are here to help.

We understand that there is limited financial support for those who have been diagnosed with cancer. The Pink Wig Foundation’s mandate is to financially support Saskatchewan women (between 16-50 years old) who have been diagnosed with cancer.

If you meet the following criteria, please apply:

  • Identify as a female
  • Resident of Saskatchewan
  • Between the ages of 16-50 years old
  • Previous history of a cancer diagnosis

The Pink Wig Foundation awards funding four times per year (deadlines below) to help provide women financial relief as quickly as possible.

At each funding deadline, the amount awarded and the number of successful applicants will vary depending on donor contributions. However, amounts awarded each quarter will be no less than $1,000/applicant, and can potentially be more. All applicants are invited to re-apply at subsequent funding deadlines to a lifetime total funding amount of $10,000.

Applicants are invited to apply at any time but funding is awarded following the deadlines below:
