LUNGevity Foundation is the largest nonprofit funder of lung cancer research. Since 2002, we have invested more than $54 million thanks to our sponsors, partners, and donors. We fund research from early detection to innovative treatments and workforce development. 

 

 Closing the Funding Gap

We step in where federal funding falls short 

This research is not very well supported at the federal level. So having this support from EGFR Resisters and LUNGevity means a ton. This is work that would not be done otherwise. It really makes all the difference to get support for life-saving lung cancer research.
