As the fundraising partner for every cancer centre in Alberta, the Alberta Cancer Foundation creates more hope and more moments for Albertans facing cancer, no matter where they live or the type of cancer they are facing.
We’re different from other fundraising organizations
We put Albertans first. As the only health foundation in Alberta that supports the entire province, we assist Albertans facing cancer, from prevention and early detection through to survivorship and palliative care. We take a holistic approach as the Alberta Cancer Foundation not only supports research and care, but also the overall well-being of Albertans facing cancer.
We’re bringing life-saving treatments to Albertans sooner
Donor support allows us to respond quickly to critical, time-sensitive opportunities, bringing the latest, most advanced treatments to Albertans. For example, we support world-leading research, as well as every cancer clinical trial in Alberta.
We’re improving the cancer experience for more Albertans
Thanks to our generous donors, we’re able to fund vital programs that reduce the financial burden of cancer and ensure Albertans have access to the supports and services they need at every stage of their journey. For example, the Patient Financial Assistance Program and Cancer Patient Navigation Program help alleviate some of the challenges Albertans diagnosed with cancer may face.
We’re making a big impact
27 million back into Alberta’s cancer system, ensuring better outcomes for the 24,000 Albertans who will face a new cancer diagnosis this year.
We’re empowering a community
Donors help build and sustain a network of Albertans — from researchers and caregivers to physicians who make a transformative impact on cancer care and treatment.
