OVERVIEW

About Colon Cancer Canada:

Colon Cancer Canada (CCC), established in 1996, is a national organization dedicated to saving lives through increasing public awareness of colorectal cancer and access to screening, funding research initiatives, and providing colorectal cancer patient support.

Donor Update: Effective June 30, 2017, Colon Cancer Canada and Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada have merged and will now be known as Colorectal Cancer Canada. Read Charity Intelligence's report on the new Colorectal Cancer Canada.

Colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer overall. It is the second most common cause of death from cancer for Canadian men and the third most common among women, accounting for 12% of cancer deaths in Canada. Colon cancer is one of Canada's Under-funded 4 cancers. Colon cancer is one area where donors can have high impact in saving lives.

 

Previously reported in 2017 on Colon Cancer Canada before the merger: CCC's grant focus on establishing fellowships and research chairs, financing hospital equipment, providing financial support to patient support services and increasing awareness about the necessity of early screening. In F2016, Colon Cancer Canada disbursed $219k towards research, $42k for research and equipment, $96k for patient resources, $27k for equipment purchases, and $27k on screening efforts, for a total reported $411k in program costs which, assuming the list exhaustive, is down 47% from F2015 spending.

Colon Cancer Canada has developed a patient and caregiver journal in collaboration with medical experts. This resource serves as a guide for Canadians to better navigate their colon cancer journey. It is a member of the Canadian Cancer Action Network, a network of organizations collaborating on cancer control.
