Funded Grants

The V Foundation’s grant making model ensures the most promising cancer research projects at state-of-the-art facilities around the country are funded. Cancer research grants are awarded to innovative researchers with the most cutting-edge ideas on how to improve cancer diagnosis methods, prevent cancer recurrences or defeat cancer. 100% of direct donations are used to fund projects we identify as the most likely to help those diagnosed with cancer.
