Our Mission
Cure blood cancer and improve the quality of life of all patients and their families.
We believe everyone with blood cancer deserves a longer, better life. That’s why we are on a mission to cure blood cancer and improve the quality of life of all patients and their families. How? We fund life-saving blood cancer research around the world, provide free information and support services for patients and their families, and are the voice for those seeking access to quality, affordable, coordinated care.
We are results driven:
- $2 billion invested in cancer research since 1949
- 200 research grants around the world
- $234 million provided in co-pay financial assistance
- 70% of the blood cancer treatment options approved by the FDA since 2017
Research
Blood Cancer United is at the forefront of the fight to cure cancer. Compared to other blood cancer nonprofits, Blood Cancer United is the largest funder of cutting-edge research to advance cures. We have invested nearly $2 billion in research. We are leaders in advancing breakthroughs in immunotherapy, genomics and personalized medicine. This research saves lives. These revolutionary new treatments originally discovered through blood cancer research are now being tested in clinical trials for other cancers.
Patient Access
As the leading source of free blood cancer information, education and support for patients, survivors, families and healthcare professionals, Blood Cancer United helps patients navigate their cancer treatment and ensures they have access to quality, affordable and coordinated care. Research will help us achieve an end to cancer. In the meantime, patients need help before, during and after their diagnosis and treatment. Blood Cancer United is the leading nonprofit that does just that.
Policy and Advocacy
Through our nationwide grassroots network of more than 100,000 volunteers, we advocate for policies at the state and federal level in a commitment to remove barriers to care for cancer patients. Our efforts have helped increase federal research funds, speed the review and approval process of new therapies and ensure patients are able to access lifesaving treatments. Many of the policies that we advocate for, at the state and federal levels, are universally beneficial for all cancer patients.
