OVERVIEW

About CancerCare Manitoba Foundation:

CancerCare Manitoba is a 3-star charity. It has a B- results reporting grade, which is below average. Its overhead spending is within Ci’s reasonable range and it has reserve funds to cover its program costs for eight years and seven months.

Founded in 1997, CancerCare Manitoba Foundation (CCMF) fundraises for CancerCare Manitoba (CCMB). CCMB is Manitoba’s provincially mandated agency for cancer and blood disorders. Contributions from CCMF help fund projects that are not eligible for government funding or that funding is not available for. These include prevention, early detection, clinical trials, and research. CCMF reports that all funds raised and donated remain in Manitoba. Since 2000, CCMF has granted over $208m to CCMB. CCMF funds four programs: Patient Experience, Local Research, Clinical Trials, and Prevention, Risk Reduction, and Awareness.

The following program information is from CCMF’s annual report for the fiscal year ending March 2023 (F2023). CCMF’s annual report for F2024 was not available at the time of this update. The program spending breakdown CCMF provides in its annual report does not reconcile with its audited financial statement. Ci reports the percentages for program spending from the F2023 annual report without the dollar values. 

CCMF reported that 48% of its program spending went to Patient Experience in F2023. This program focuses on supporting cancer patients and their families. These include educational resources and after-care programs to help patients. Alongside the Government of Manitoba, CCMF is providing funding for a new Centre of Hope at the Western Manitoba Cancer Centre. The new Centre will help patients and families receive emotional and physical support they need.

CancerCare Manitoba Foundation spent 46% of program spending on Local Research in F2023. CCMB reports that it has over 70 scientists researching cancer and blood disorders. CCMB has three interrelated research disciplines: Basic and Translational Research, Clinical Research, and Health Services Research.

CCMF spent 4% of program spending on Clinical Trials in F2023. Over 1,700 patients at CancerCare Manitoba are currently followed on clinical trials. CCMB reports that each year around 300 Manitobans enrol in around 120 clinical trials.

CCMF spent 2% of program spending on Prevention, Risk Reduction, and Awareness in F2023. This program focuses on ensuring access to screening programs and educational tools. The charity reports that if all Manitobans started eating healthy today, 1,300 cancer cases could be prevented in 2038.
