Daniela Conte Foundation

The Daniela Conte Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit pediatric cancer organization, founded in July 2020 to honor the life and legacy of Daniela Conte, who bravely battled Rhabdomyosarcoma - a rare and aggressive pediatric cancer for four years. Daniela’s strength, courage, and vibrant spirit deeply impacted her family, friends, and community before she passed away peacefully on March 2, 2020, at the age of 8. Today, we continue Daniela’s fight by providing financial assistance, raise awareness, and fund research for families facing unimaginable challenges. Why We Fight Childhood cancer remains deeply underfunded - less than 4% of the federal cancer research budget goes toward pediatric cancers. Survivors often face long-term health complications, yet progress in treatment options remains slow. Supporting Families Beyond the emotional toll, childhood cancer imposes serious financial burdens on families. Many are forced to live on a single income, while costs for treatment, travel, and everyday living quickly add up. Our foundation provides direct financial assistance to families to help cover: Rent or mortgage payments Utility bills and car expenses Transportation and gas costs Groceries and essential living needs Memorial service support, when needed Daniela inspired a global community of love, prayer, and support. Her legacy continues through our work - and through everyone who joins us to finish the fight she so courageously began.
