Program Description:
To achieve rapid discovery of a cure, the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation (CFCF) directs 100% of all individual donations to fund breakthrough scientific research of carcinoid and related NETs, with the goal of curing these diseases. This is made possible by the generous support of its Board of Directors and corporate sponsors. Not a single individual donor dollar is used to support any of CFCF’s overhead, operations or fundraising costs. Since its inception, CFCF has awarded over 4.5 million dollars in large-scale, multi-year research grants to leading scientists at renowned research institutions including Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Stanford University Cancer Center, and the University of Massachusetts Medical School. CFCF has established itself as the leading and most efficient not-for-profit funder of carcinoid and related NET research. CFCF has achieved this status with guidance from its Board of Directors, whose support allows CFCF to operate efficiently, and its Board of Scientific Advisors who provide a clear Research Road Map and Research Action Plan. CFCF also organizes an annual state-of-the-science symposium dedicated to carcinoid and related NET research.
