Research

What does it take to outsmart cancer? Research. We’ve invested more than $4.9 billion in cancer research since 1946, all to find more – and better – treatments, uncover factors that may cause cancer, and improve cancer patients’ quality of life.

Hope Lodge Relief Fund

Our Hope Lodge facilities have transitioned to support the coronavirus response by offering free rooms to health care workers on the front lines. These health care heroes are putting themselves at risk to care for our communities, and many have temporarily separated from their families to reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to their loved ones. Help support our relief fund!

General Mission Fund

At the American Cancer Society, we’re on a mission to free the world from cancer. Until we do, we’ll be funding and conducting research, sharing expert information, supporting patients, and spreading the word about prevention. All so you can live longer — and better.

All general mission donations will be unrestricted and used to support the area of greatest need.
