NCC Angel Grants
The NCC Angel Grants program supports cutting-edge pediatric cancer research at leading oncology institutes in the United States.
NCC Angel Grants are seed grants that directly support vital but uncovered needs within major research efforts. Typically, support is requested for specific equipment, experiments, personnel support, or to enable presentations of results at major conferences.
Here are some of the cancer research programs receiving our financial assistance: St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital, UNC-Chapel Hill Lineberger Cancer Center, Arizona Cancer Center, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, Univ. of Colorado, Tulane Cancer Center, MD Anderson, UCLA Comprehensive Cancer Center, and many other institutes that are improving treatments and searching for a cure for children’s cancer.
NCC’s efforts are making a significant difference and we are proud to be a part of initiating high-quality cancer research in the United States. NCC Angel Grants are often made in memory or honor of a former patient.
