We are the Alberta Cancer Foundation
Albertans Helping Albertans
One in two Albertans will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Sadly, one in four will not survive.
These aren’t just statistics. These are our loved ones, our friends, our neighbours, our fellow Albertans.
We need to do more. And, with your help, we can.

Areas of Impact
The most impactful way to support Albertans facing cancer today, and in the future, is by supporting the priority needs of the cancer system. Donations to priority needs offer flexibility to respond when there is an emerging opportunity to help Albertans facing cancer and wherever it will have the greatest reach within our province. These funds allow us to respond quickly when new breakthroughs come to light, when costly medical equipment must be replaced, and to support patient care needs as they arise.
The only way to bring the treatments of tomorrow to those facing cancer today is through leading-edge research and clinical trials. Luckily, when it comes to clinical trials, Alberta is leading the way in Canada and these trials are shaping the standard of care for cancer treatment in the future.
Facing a cancer diagnosis comes with many challenges. For those patients who are living in rural Alberta or in a marginalized community, navigating a complex health care system adds a new layer of difficulty. Many patients also face significant financial pressure during their cancer journey. Fortunately, the Alberta Cancer Foundation’s Patient Financial Assistance Program, Patient Navigation Programs and Mobile Breast Screening Units are there to help.
Every Albertan should have access to cutting-edge cancer treatment, no matter where they live in the province. That’s why the Alberta Cancer Foundation exists – to make a difference in the lives of Albertans. We support improvements at Alberta’s 17 cancer centres, enhancing the level of care provided.
