The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) is committed to being the end of breast cancer by advancing the world’s most promising research. Since its founding by Evelyn H. Lauder in 1993, BCRF has funded investigators who have been deeply involved in every major breakthrough in breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and survivorship. This year, BCRF has committed nearly $54 million to support 240 scientists at leading medical institutions internationally, making it one of the world’s largest non-governmental funders of breast cancer research. By investing 91 cents of every dollar directly in its mission, BCRF remains one of the nation’s most fiscally responsible nonprofits. It is the only breast cancer organization to hold an “A+” from CharityWatch and has been awarded Charity Navigator’s highest rating of four stars 13 times since 2002.
