Donations help fund research projects across Canada for all forms of cancer and treatments based on scientific merit
The Issue: Lack of Funding for Cancer Research
Cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada, killing one in four Canadians, including more than 78,000 in 2015 alone. Research taking part across the country aims to improve the prognosis. Today, about 63% of cancer patients survive the disease; several forms of cancer have greatly increased survival rates, including 90% for breast cancer and 95% for prostate cancer.
However, hundreds of applications for research grants are submitted every year by scientists seeking to make life-saving breakthroughs. The Cancer Research Society and other not-for-profit organizations are in constant need of funding to support scientifically sound research projects. A lack of funding inhibits opportunities for treatments and cures.
The Campaign: Funding Scientific Cancer Research
All donations to this Grassroots campaign will be used by the Cancer Research Society to fund research that could discover effective cancer treatments and increase survival rates. For every $5, $10, $20, $50, or $100 raised, the Cancer Research Society will be able to provide grants to cancer researchers looking for ways to treat and cure the disease. The organization receives hundreds of funding applications every year from scientists across the country, and it seeks to provide grants to as many research projects as possible.
