Alberta Cancer Foundation

Who We Are

Fundraising partners.

As the fundraising partner for all of Alberta’s cancer centres, the Alberta Cancer Foundation exists to create more moments for Albertans facing cancer. With the number of cancer cases continuing to grow and more people surviving their diagnosis, it’s imperative for the Alberta Cancer Foundation to connect to donors and increase support for innovative programs across the province, from prevention and early diagnosis through to survivorship and end-of-life care. It is anticipated the Alberta Cancer Foundation will invest $40 million into cancer care and research in this fiscal year.

Are you a Game Changer?

Introducing the Alberta Cancer Foundation’s 2024 Game Changer Competition, where we’re looking to discover possible fundraising projects across the province. Our goal? To find priorities and projects that will result in Better Cancer Journeys.

The Alberta Cancer Foundation seeks to support patients through every stage of their cancer journey, no matter where in Alberta they live or the kind of cancer they’re facing.  We’re looking for projects and initiatives that demonstrate tangible, positive impact on Albertans facing cancer.
