National Breast Cancer Foundation

The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is Australia’s leading not-for-profit organisation funding world-class breast cancer research towards our vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer.

Since our inception in 1994, NBCF have invested around $200M into more than 600 world-class research projects across Australia.

In this time, death rates from breast cancer in Australia have improved by 43%. We’ve seen remarkable results, but the job’s not done.

At NBCF, we’re determined to create a better tomorrow. We know research matters, and it is central and critical to improving breast cancer outcomes.

Through our grant schemes, we fund the very best breast cancer research in Australia– from fundamental biological research to clinical research via an open national, competitive and rigorous peer review process.

This means we award grants by order of merit to the finest breast cancer research in alignment with our vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer.

As a completely community-funded organisation, NBCF’s ability to support game-changing breast cancer research relies on the generosity of the Australian public.
