Investing in projects
The Kids’ Cancer Project funds and co-funds research projects solely via philanthropic donations made by its incredible community.
In the decades that have followed its decision to fund research, tens of millions of dollars have been invested into innovative projects determined to have the best chance of assisting childhood cancer patients.
A research project’s feasibility is assessed and determined by The Kids’ Cancer Project’s Research Advisory Committee (RAC), with projects deemed to be worthy of funding recommended to The Kids’ Cancer Project’s Board of Directors before being formally approved.
