Research got us here.

Capital gets us there.

Of the 1,000+ early-stage companies in our pipeline, we’ve invested in 9 — across diagnostics, therapeutics, and other innovations targeting cancer. Many of them targeting the cancers that have touched your family — or someone you love. For most of these companies, the critical problem isn’t science. It’s capital.

VENTURE GIVING

CANCER FUND Community Donor Advised Fund (CFC-DAF) at ImpactAssets

  • Donate $10 or more by credit or debit card, plus 3.5% card processing fees
  • Grant $250 or more from your own DAF; minimums, fees, and other details vary by granting DAF provider
  • Setup your own DAF in only a few minutes
  • Donating, making a grant recommendation, or setting up a DAF takes only 2–3 minutes; we’ll help guide you through it

WHY CANCER FUND?

Three reasons.

THE FUNDING GAP IS REAL AND QUANTIFIABLE 1,000+ early-stage oncology companies are seeking $10B+ in capital — with 95% of that need at Seed and Series A, where traditional VC has stopped showing up.

YOUR CAPITAL MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE

Patient capital at the earliest stage funds the proof points that unlock everything that comes after.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO IT ALONE

Whether you give or invest, you’re joining a 10,000+ community of physicians, scientists, survivors, and others who back this work together.

Want to get more deeply involved?

Beyond the community, our Screening Committee is a smaller group of members who help evaluate the companies we fund. It’s selective and invitation-based — but if your background fits, we’d love to know you’re interested.
