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.
