Special Funds
The V Foundation funds research for many types of cancer. The projects range from the very origin of the cancer journey (like how cancer cells grow and move in the body) to treatment options (like clinical trials and drugs). Your dollars fund the best projects that are presented to the V Foundation’s Scientific Advisory Committee from NCI-accredited institutions. You can be sure that your donation is funding the best cancer research nationwide. Follow Your dollar and see how we do it.
In addition to general cancer research, you can see various areas below where the V Foundation has invested some of your contributions.
