Through philanthropy, we power personalized patient support, clinical innovation, and community investment across Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Southwest Florida.
Cincinnati Cancer Foundation Inc. is a dedicated philanthropic engine improving cancer care where it matters most — in the lives of patients and families.

Through Cincinnati and Naples Cancer Advisors, we provide expert, no-cost consultations that empower patients and families to make informed decisions with confidence and peace of mind. Our team ensures every person facing cancer receives thoughtful, personalized guidance at one of the most critical points in their care journey.

We advance cancer research by supporting clinical, translational, and bench science — while also leveraging real-world insights from our patient consultations to inform care models and funding decisions. Our goal is to improve access to high-quality cancer care and close critical gaps in treatment, outcomes, and innovation.

We invest in the future of cancer care by supporting accredited CME, hands-on learning, and partnerships with leading medical programs. These initiatives build a stronger oncology workforce and ensure providers are equipped with the latest knowledge and tools to deliver exceptional care.

Our outreach efforts raise awareness, honor patient stories, and foster collective action. From survivorship events to public education, we bring people together across Greater Cincinnati and Southwest Florida to inspire connection, reduce stigma, and support lasting change.

We strategically fund innovative cancer programs and research, while also securing and distributing grants that amplify regional impact. Our growing role includes supporting partners and internal initiatives aimed at reducing suffering and mortality — with active funding in Greater Cincinnati and expansion underway in Southwest Florida.

By breaking down complex topics into clear, easy-to-understand explanations, we create publicly available resources that build confidence, encourage proactive choices, and support long-term well-being.
My consultation has strengthened my relationship with my physician. It was my thought that I was already cured, but he felt I needed confirmation from Cincinnati Cancer Advisors. I’m so relieved I had your consult.

I was hoping to talk to you or Dr. Leming, soon. Because of his suggestion, I had a Brain MRI and it revealed some metastatic nodules. They are small, so I think we caught it early!
I am so grateful for Cincinnati Cancer Advisors! You all may have saved my life! I hope to keep your organization on my team to fight on! Thank you so much!”
