How your donation helps
Together, we are saving and improving lives.
When you donate to the °Ä²Êͼ¿â (CCS), you fund the brightest minds in cancer research to improve and save the lives of people with all types of cancer. You power a compassionate national support system to ensure no one faces cancer alone. And you help create health policies to make life better for Canadians affected by cancer. With your support we can change the future of cancer forever.
You fund Canada’s best cancer research
Since the 1940s, CCS has invested more than $2.1 billion in cancer research.
You help make life better for people affected by cancer
CCS has helped an estimated 19 million people access credible information and support related to cancer in 2023.
You’re helping to protect and improve the health of Canadians
Over the past three years, CCS has driven 138 policy wins.
Your donations help people find community and connection, build wellness and resilience, and manage life with – and beyond cancer.
Thanks to supporters like you, today about 64% of Canadians diagnosed with cancer will survive at least five years after their diagnosis. This is up from 25% in the 1940s when CCS began funding research. This improvement is due to advances in early detection and more precise, less damaging ways to deliver surgery, radiotherapy and drug therapy.
Together, we are stronger than cancer
Join us and we can be a force-for-life in the face of cancer.
