What we do

Thanks to the generosity of our donors and to the work of our volunteers and staff, the Canadian Cancer Society is leading the way in the fight against cancer. The Canadian Cancer Society:

funds research on all types of cancer
offers comprehensive and credible information on cancer, risk reduction and treatment
provides support for people living with cancer, family members and friends

The Canadian Cancer Society is a private non-profit organization, funded by donations from the public and money raised through our fundraising activities. The Canadian Cancer Society would not be able to offer these services or fund important research without the generous help of donors and volunteers.

The Canadian Cancer Society makes the best use of every donated dollar, keeping administration costs low in order to fund research and provide community services to help people living with cancer and their families and friends.
