General Requirements For SMOV Application
General Requirements for Vacation Angel Application
SMOV provides healing vacations to breast cancer survivors no matter the age or stage. To qualify, applicants must demonstrate their eligibility through our application process, which considers their medical history, financial circumstances and their personal story.
SMOV is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that funds vacations through donations, sponsorships, fundraising events, and partnerships. A portion of proceeds from select programs such as the Vacation Angel Ambassador Program also supports these trips.
We offer a variety of experiences, including individual getaways, group retreats, and wellness-focused trips. Each experience is designed to promote healing, relaxation, and community-building for survivors.
You can support SMOV by making a donation, sponsoring a survivor’s trip, attending our fundraising events, or purchasing from our store, where proceeds help fund healing vacations. Every contribution makes a difference!
Survivors can apply directly through our website by filling out the application form. If you’d like to nominate someone, please provide their details, and our team will reach out to discuss eligibility.
