Canadian Cancer SocietyThe Canadian Cancer Society is a volunteer-based organization which seeks to eradicate cancer and to enhance the quality of life of those suffering from it. Additional recommended knowledgeThe Society was formed in 1938 in order to educate Canadians about the early-warning signs of the disease, because prior to that time, many people did not seek medical help until their cancer had advanced past a treatable stage. Since its founding, the society has been granted royal patronage by the Canadian Sovereign, currently Elizabeth II. The Society focuses its efforts and its financial resources in these areas:
In a 2005 audit by KPMG, the Society reported a revenue of $150,718,000 CAD. A breakdown of disbursements shows 28% of the Society's revenues going to fund research, 17% to provide support for people living with cancer, 7% to pay for information campaigns, 6% to fund prevention, and 2% to provide advocacy. Fundraising consumes 27% of the Society's revenue, and 6% is given over to management costs. See also
