Fundraising

You can make a difference

Our fundraisers are essential to the success of our mission. Not only do they provide instrumental funding to advance research and support FA families, they help educate others about why FA research matters and how it benefits those affected by cancer, too.

What’s remarkable about our organization is the way many FCF-funded researchers leverage their FCF grants to go on to receive much larger government or institution-based funding. This means the impact of your fundraising and donations grows exponentially.

Here are just a couple remarkable achievements made possible by our dedicated fundraisers:

Research Breakthroughs

Donations have led to the discovery of 23 genes, uncovered connection between FA and cancer, and skyrocketed survival rates for bone marrow transplants. We now have more adults with FA than children in our community! And in 2024, fundraising success supported more than $2,000,000 in research!

Community Support Programs

Through your contributions, we have expanded our support programs, offering a lifeline to people with FA and their caregivers and families. These programs include caregiver, patient advocacy, grief support, 1:1 psychosocial support, and a Virtual Tumor Board to help those with a cancer diagnosis.

This is the power of a united and driven community

Endure for a Cure

Imagine taking on a physical challenge—running, biking, swimming, hiking, or something completely unique—and knowing that every step, pedal, or stroke you take is helping to find a cure for Fanconi anemia. Endure for a Cure is your chance to push your limits while raising crucial funds for the Fanconi Cancer Foundation.

FCF and American Cancer Society Open 2026 Discovery Boost Grant for FA Cancer Research

We’re thrilled to announce a new partnership between the Fanconi Cancer Foundation (FCF) and the American Cancer Society (ACS): the Fanconi Cancer Foundation Discovery Boost Grant. This grant program will fuel innovative research aimed at preventing, detecting, and treating cancers associated with Fanconi anemia (FA).

Building the Evidence for Safer Cancer Care in FA

FCF has committed $631,164 to three projects addressing critical gaps in FA cancer research. The work spans different stages, from exploring oral gene therapy and screening drugs for FA-specific safety to analyzing clinical experiences that could inform future care. These projects are building the knowledge needed to pursue safer cancer options for people with FA.

New Mental Health and Wellbeing Toolkit Offers Practical Support for the FA Community

Living with Fanconi anemia, or caring for someone with FA, brings ongoing uncertainty, complex medical experiences and emotional strain. These experiences affect more than physical health. They can also shape mental health, relationships, daily routines and a person’s sense of safety and connection. The Fanconi Cancer Foundation is pleased to introduce the Mental Health and Wellbeing Toolkit, a new resource offering practical tools and trusted guidance for people living with FA and those who care for them.
