This is the most exciting time in the history of cancer research and care.

We are on the cusp of true transformation. Cancer is the world’s biggest health crisis, and the BC Cancer Foundation (BCCF)—the fundraising partner of BC Cancer- is positioned to lead the charitable sector and drive health care transformation to elevate cancer care for all British Columbians and beyond.

With over 90 employees working across five sites in B.C., and annual revenue of over $80 million, we are one of the largest non-profit organizations in B.C. We engage with over 100,000 donors and communities to inspire philanthropic investment in BC Cancer, partner with some of the world’s leading researchers, oncologists, care providers, and are governed by a Board of Directors leading in the community.

At the BC Cancer Foundation, we are a professional, passionate, and positive team who believe that we can help make a difference in the lives of all British Columbians and bring us closer to a world free from cancer.

We are driven by a collective purpose to be a catalyst, powering world-class innovation while supporting deeply personal cancer patient journeys.
