The American Cancer Society Foundation, the nimble sister organization of the American Cancer Society, Inc., is taking the fight against cancer to a new level. In a focused effort to save the maximum number of lives in the most cost effective and efficient manner, the American Cancer Society Foundation is taking bold and innovative actions to ensure dramatic progress. This pioneering effort is bringing together the nation's top cancer science minds with the most noted and motivated cancer philanthropists to identify, fund, and act upon the most promising contemporary opportunities to advance the cancer battle.

The American Cancer Society Foundation is attacking cancer with a strategy that is complementary to, but separate from, the grassroots programs that the American Cancer Society leads each year. The nimble, innovative focus of the ACS Foundation allows for flexibility in capitalizing and exploring opportunities that the larger American Cancer Society, Inc. is not positioned to pursue.

The American Cancer Society Foundation is attacking cancer at the greatest area of contemporary opportunity with a strategic application of philanthropy, collaborative relationships, and economic accountability.
