Where the funds go

You + Ending Cancer

When you donate to the Roswell Park Alliance Foundation directly or through one of our events, you’re not only supporting today’s cancer patients; you’re also helping our world-renowned experts change the way we treat and understand these diseases.

Every year, more than 52,000 patients turn to Roswell Park for treatment and hope. Your gifts are shaping the future of cancer care for every one of these people.

Your Donation Amplified x20

We’re proud to say that for every dollar donated to cancer research, Roswell Park is able to leverage an additional $20 from external grants toward that research. This is thanks to the support of donors like you and the hard work of Roswell Park researchers.

Quality-of-Life Programs

Quality-of-Life Programs for every patient and caregiver who walks through our doors offer everything from wigs and head coverings to translation services to psychosocial support.

Cancer Research

Researchers and clinicians are working to bring the newest, most innovative treatments and technologies to cancer patients. Donations to Roswell Park provide the seed funding for the latest big ideas.
