Donate to UICC

Imagine a world where millions of cancer deaths are prevented and access to life-saving cancer treatment and care is equitable for all.

A female nurse of African decent sits at the bedside of a mature female Oncology patient as she checks in on her during rounds. The patient is dressed comfortably and has a head scarf on to keep warm.

Why donate to UICC?

UICC has more than 1,100 member organisations in over 170 countries and territories, and is the only global organisation representing all cancer types, across the entire continuum of cancer care (prevention, early detection, treatment and palliative care). This membership base includes the world’s major cancer leagues and societies, research institutes, treatment centres, hospitals, ministries of health, public health agencies and patient support groups. Its mission is both to unite and support the cancer community in its efforts to reduce the global cancer burden, promote greater equity and ensure that cancer control remains a priority on the global health and development agenda.  

If you wish to set up a personal fundraising page to support our work, write us an email at communications@uicc.org.
