About
ACCRF is a 501(c)(3) public charity for people living with advanced cancer and the people who care for them.
We help people living with advanced cancer, and the people who care for them, by funding practical support and research into new treatments.
A world where advanced cancer is a manageable disease, where every patient gets care that helps them live longer and feel better, and the support to keep living their lives.
Our work
A late-stage diagnosis brings a lot at once. We focus on three areas.
No one should have to manage advanced cancer on their own. We fund supportive services like care management, for patients and for the people who care for them, so the day-to-day feels lighter and there’s more room for the rest of life.
More about supportive servicesUnderstanding your cancer makes it easier to talk with your care team. Our first tool, Cancer Pathfinder, puts cancer information into plain language and helps you get your questions ready.
More about Cancer PathfinderYou have a voice in your care. We want you, and the people who care for you, to feel ready to use it: to ask your questions, to say what matters most to you, and to be heard. We help you find the support you need along the way.
