About the Cancer Research Foundation

As we celebrate our 70th anniversary, the Cancer Research Foundation has made a point of taking “long-shot” bets with relatively small amounts of grant money, leveraging the collective knowledge and experience of the Foundation, its allies, and its past grantees to make grants that increase scientific knowledge more than an average grant of the same size. We view ourselves as “cancer research venture philanthropists,” making early investments in ideas that are often difficult to fund through more traditional sources.
