Kinderkankerfonds is a Flemish/Belgian childhood cancer charity focused on improving the quality of life of children with cancer and their families. It supports highly practical, patient- and family-centered services around pediatric oncology wards—such as extra staffing, medical equipment, child-friendly facilities, sibling support, respite housing, and bedside activities—while also funding scientific research on childhood cancer through KIKARES. The funder is distinctive for combining direct care support with research and for working closely with Belgian hospital departments and partner organizations in Flanders.
Primarily targeted, invite-only support for Belgian pediatric oncology departments and related family-support programs, plus competitive/scoped research funding through KIKARES for fundamental, translational, clinical, and pilot projects. Grants appear to be program-specific rather than open general operating support, with both in-kind/material and financial assistance; many awards are likely relatively small-to-moderate and tightly aligned to service delivery or research needs.

Most support is invite-only, so nonprofits should build relationships with Kinderkankerfonds and Flemish pediatric oncology departments rather than cold-applying. Research applicants should look for KIKARES calls and be ready to propose a clearly defined childhood-cancer project with strong clinical or translational relevance; service providers should align proposals to concrete ward-level needs such as staffing, equipment, sibling support, or family accommodations.
