How much of my donation goes towards research and how much towards administrative costs?

Through the generosity of our donors, the BC Cancer Foundation was able to raise $39.3 million dollars for the BC Cancer Agency. This represents a 20 per cent increase over the prior year. Our total general and administrative cost per dollar raised is $0.10, which is the same as the prior year.

The BC Cancer Foundation continues to fund more cancer research in BC than any other charitable organization. In the last year, the BC Cancer Agency has announced major research breakthroughs in ovarian, breast and two in lymphoid cancers. These discoveries were published in leading international cancer and scientific journals and widely acknowledged in the global scientific community.
