About the Canadian Cancer Society

CCS is the only national charity that supports all people with all cancers in communities across the country. We have a presence in 70+ communities across Canada and are the only national organization dedicated to supporting the entire cancer journey, from diagnosis to survivorship.

Thanks to donors like you, we are making progress. Today, over 64% of Canadians diagnosed with cancer will survive, compared to about 25% in the 1940s, when we began funding research.

Your support matters

With nearly half of Canadians diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, the need for your support has never been greater.

Donate today to help fund groundbreaking cancer research into all types of cancer, offer support services to help people better manage life with cancer, shape healthy public policies to prevent cancer and support those living with the disease, and offer trusted cancer information for all Canadians.

What we do

At the CCS, we are committed to uniting and inspiring Canadians to take control of cancer. We are always funding high performance research that improves cancer outcomes and addresses the greatest opportunities for progress. We lead change in the most pressing areas of cancer policy including prevention, access, affordability and support. And we provide the highest quality cancer information for all Canadians, promote cancer prevention and provide targeted support to help people with cancer, their families and caregivers cope.

We set ourselves apart from other cancer charities by taking a comprehensive approach against cancer.
