Who We Are
The BC Cancer Foundation is the fundraising partner of BC Cancer — together we are driven by a shared vision of building a world free from cancer.
About the BC Cancer Foundation
Founded in 1935, the BC Cancer Foundation is the largest philanthropic funder of cancer research and enhancements to care in British Columbia.
As a catalyst in the cancer system, we bring together BC Cancer, donors and the government to drive forward and accelerate innovative solutions.
We are raising funds to:
- Power world-class innovation across BC Cancer’s research programs and regional cancer centres
- Accelerate access to cutting-edge treatment and care for patients, closer to home.
- Transform the future of cancer treatment and empower BC Cancer experts to elevate standards of care
Every dollar we raise stays in B.C. to support BC Cancer’s provincial research and care, creating tangible impacts for local patients and families.
Why Support BC Cancer Foundation
Your donations fuel hope for the 80,000 patients who depend on BC Cancer each year.
With one in two British Columbians facing cancer in their lifetime, and cases rising due to a growing population, your support is vital. Together, we can transform cancer research, treatment and care for families across the province.
Your donation goes further — every dollar you give helps BC Cancer secure up to four times more funding to accelerate innovation and life-saving breakthroughs in B.C.
Be part of the change.

Together, we have created incredible momentum, with BC Cancer research hubs and new centres being developed across the province, including:
- World-leading immunotherapy and genomics programs
- Cutting-edge precision radiation research
- A first-in-Canada, province-wide lung cancer screening program
- And so much more
The Beyond Belief Campaign
The Foundation is making history with the most ambitious health campaign ever undertaken in B.C. We’re raising $500 million to ensure life beyond cancer is within reach for thousands of patients and families across the province.
The campaign is called Beyond Belief because that’s where we’re going: beyond what anyone believed possible.
Beyond Belief aims to activate world-class researchers and clinicians, advance innovation and accelerate access to care at BC Cancer.
We have already made tangible impact, providing hope to those who need it most. Now we need you to help us move beyond fear, beyond limits and beyond the impossible.
Together, we will go Beyond Belief.
