Our Mission
The Prevent Cancer Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit founded in 1985 and is the only nonprofit in the United States focused solely on cancer prevention and early detection. With your help, the Foundation has invested nearly $142 million in support of cancer prevention nationwide through research, education, advocacy and outreach. While most groups were focused on cures and treatment, our work sparked the conversation on the possibility of preventing cancer.
