Frequently Asked Questions
What grants are available for cancer nonprofits?
Funding ranges from research grants for laboratory and clinical science to community grants for screening, education, navigation, and patient support. The American Cancer Society funds extramural research at nonprofit institutions nationwide, while organizations like Susan G. Komen fund both research and community programs delivering breast-health services to underserved populations. Federal cancer funding flows primarily through the National Cancer Institute.
Which foundations fund cancer programs and research?
The American Cancer Society is the largest private nonprofit source of cancer-research funding, supporting researchers at institutions across the country. Susan G. Komen is the world's largest private funder of breast cancer research and also funds community breast-health programs. The National Cancer Institute at NIH is the dominant federal funder, and disease-specific foundations fund research and support for particular cancers.
Are there grants for both research and patient support?
Yes. Research grants fund scientists and clinical investigators, typically through institutions, while patient-support and community grants fund screening, navigation, education, and direct assistance such as help with transportation or living costs. Funders like Susan G. Komen operate on both sides, and the American Cancer Society also provides patient-support programs alongside research. Match your proposal to the right track, as research grants usually flow through academic or medical institutions.
