Concern Foundation is an independent, volunteer-driven organization conceived in 1968 by a group of friends who wanted to make sure their dollars counted in the fight against cancer. With 90-95% of net proceeds (based on 2018 financial audit) going directly to research, Concern has raised more than $68 million dollars and funded 800 cancer research scientists studying cancer, primarily in the areas of cancer genetics, cell biology, and immunology. By specifically targeting promising post- doctoral scientists and providing critically needed “seed” money for innovative projects, Concern Foundation bridges the gap that currently exists in the scientific research community.
