The National Children's Cancer Society

A nonprofit organization

Since 1987, The National Children's Cancer Society has helped more than 49,000 children with cancer and their families by providing over $71 million in program distributions. The NCCS is a 501C(3) non-profit organization that is proud to meet all of the Better Business Bureau's "Standards of Charity Accountability," which includes a comprehensive, in-depth evaluation of charity governance, fundraising practices, solicitations, and informational materials.

Our Family Support Program, Transportation Assistance Fund, and Emergency Assistance Fund provide emotional and financial support to families throughout the United States during their child's cancer treatment. By eliminating some of the psychological and financial hardships associated with cancer, families can stay focused on the health and well-being of their children.

The Beyond the Cure survivorship program prepares survivors and their families for life after cancer. Our Late Effects After Treatment Tool (LEATT) provides survivors with a private, customized online assessment of potential late effects based on their diagnosis and treatment. In addition, Beyond the Cure awards college scholarships to childhood cancer survivors, distributes free links and educational materials, and provides information on additional resources.

The Global Outreach Program was established to coordinate worldwide distribution of donated pharmaceuticals and medical supplies to pediatric oncology treatment centers in less-developed countries throughout the world. The program is dedicated to addressing the critical effects of inadequate and nonexistent medical care for thousands of children with cancer worldwide.
