Research is the key to improving cure rates. Our unique WCRF clinical research model is 400% more productive than the traditional university/cancer center model. WCRF overhead is low. Our only major expenses are those directly related to our research team and the majority of WCRF donations go to our research team. By comparison, when funds are donated to the Komen Foundation or the American Cancer Society, only about 9% gets to researchers.
The WCRF Difference
One Of The Nation's Most Active Research Organizations
The Women’s Cancer Research Foundation (WCRF) is one of the most active research organizations in the nation. We are dedicated to studying and evaluating novel treatments for women afflicted with breast, ovarian, endometrial, and cervical cancers. The WCRF persistently endeavors to make a difference in women’s lives by offering them hope, strength, and progress.
501(c)(3) STATUS
WCRF is a public nonprofit 501(c)(3) foundation. Our physicians have been involved in research dating back to 1985. In 2003, the foundation was incorporated as a charitable 501(c)(3) foundation so that our patients, families, and everyone who wishes to make a difference in the world of women’s cancers could support our research effort. Donations are tax-deductible.
