Philanthropy and major donations
Every year we turn down ideas for potential new cancer cures because we simply cannot fund them all. Significant donations help back more world-class scientists, accelerating lifesaving breakthroughs for everyone with cancer.
Since 1979 we have made incredible progress in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer.
Survival rates have dramatically improved - but there is still much more work to be done until we can reach a day when no life is cut short by cancer. We need visionaries like you to join forces with us to fund more cutting-edge discovery research, right now.
