![]() Concern Foundation is a rarity in the nonprofit world as it maintains an administrative overhead of 5% or less . About 95 cents of every $1 go toward research. This is made possible by remaining primarily volunteer driven. Ten of the original 15 couples are still actively involved and membership has grown to over 10,000 . A multi-generational organization, as many as four generations of families work side by side to sustain the mission to find a cure. Thanks to the training and leadership provided by the organization's founding visionaries, the second and third generations have assumed the current leadership role. |
Since 1968, Concern Foundation has raised well
over $40 million dollars
to cultivate outstanding young scientists and to sustain the progress
in prevention and treatment of cancer. Thanks to the generosity of Concern's loyal donors, there are presently 47 researchers supported by a "CONquer canCER Now" grant, endowment or special research initiative. These outstanding investigators are furthering their expertise in 11 different areas of cancer research at leading insitutions in California, the United States, and around the world. What began as a grassroots effort to give purpose to the life of one single individual has transcended its humble origins. |
