Prostate Cancer Foundation

About Prostate Cancer Foundation

Prostate Cancer Foundation’s largest recent grant in the provided data is $6,450,000 to MD Anderson Cancer Center for cancer research, and that scale is matched by repeated multi-million-dollar awards to major academic medical centers. The foundation’s grantmaking is centered on accelerating research to prevent, detect, and treat prostate cancer, while also supporting patients and caregivers affected by the disease. Recent grants show a consistent emphasis on biomedical and clinical research rather than individual assistance, with awards directed to institutions such as Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of Pennsylvania. The pattern suggests a funder that backs research infrastructure and specialized cancer programs through project-specific support. Its recent awards also include work tied to veterans’ prostate cancer care, genetic testing guidance, patient support and education, and public awareness around early detection. Grants are often substantial enough to support major research efforts at large cancer centers and universities, and the recipient list includes institutions in multiple regions of the United States. With $77,861,576 in annual grants and $105,767,424 in total assets, the foundation operates at a scale focused on sustained research funding.

What Prostate Cancer Foundation Funds

Cancer research is the clearest throughline in the recent grants. Prostate Cancer Foundation gave $4,125,355 to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for cancer research and $2,824,975 to the University of Pennsylvania for cancer research, alongside multiple additional awards to universities and cancer institutes. The foundation also supports work at the intersection of research and clinical care. It awarded $1,417,233 to Bronx Veterans Medical Research Foundation for cancer research, pointing to a veterans-related dimension in its portfolio, and gave $1,225,000 to Cedars Sinai Medical Center for cancer research. Its grantmaking includes other specialized research settings as well. The University of California San Diego received $2,000,000 for cancer research, while Dana-Farber Cancer Institute received $1,050,000 for the same purpose. Across these awards, the focus remains on institutional research programs rather than broad unrestricted giving.
