Cancer Fund of America's mission differs greatly from many of the more than 200 U.S. charities that provide cancer-related services because its principle mission is to provide aid to the ill and needy rather than to conduct research. As stated in our governing documents, CFA's overriding purpose is outlined in the mission statement:"To provide support and services to financially indigent patients; to disseminate information concerning the early detection and prevention of cancer; to provide commodities, and gifts-in-kind to hospices and other health care providers; to procure and distribute donated merchandise to various 501-(c)-(3) non-profit community service organizations which aid the ill, needy, and infants." Cancer Fund of America, Inc. is a Delaware Corporation conceived as a national agency to help the many victims of cancer. Operating under the tax exempt Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3), CFA enjoys a unique position among health agencies in that its number one priority is patient care rather than research. The need for this service is apparent in the increasing numbers of requests CFA receives daily from patients, families of patients, hospice organizations, and other health care professionals. For this reason CFA concentrates its efforts on patient care assistance rather than research. Every $100 donated to the Cancer Fund of America can result in approximately $300 in products for our cancer patients. This 3 to 1 ratio is due to the ability to purchase in volume. All deliveries to patients, hospice, and other health care providers are always free of charge, including shipping.
