The Prevent Cancer Foundation
The Prevent Cancer Foundation® is the only U.S.-based nonprofit organization solely dedicated to cancer prevention and early detection. Our mission is to empower people to stay ahead of cancer through prevention and early detection. Our vision is a world where cancer is preventable, detectable and beatable for all.
The Prevent Cancer Foundation® was founded in 1985 and carries out its mission by focusing its work in four areas:
Research
The Foundation funds important research grants and fellowships at some of the most prestigious academic institutions and medical centers across the U.S. The goal of the Prevent Cancer Foundation’s research program is to identify and fund innovative projects with the potential to make substantial contributions to cancer prevention or early detection.
