* Increasing our base of volunteers, donors and fundraisers in our community to ensure continued financial support for our programs.
* Exploring new funding opportunities with continued focus on fulfilling our mission.

Oregon Cancer Foundation has strived to meet the needs of those impacted by cancer in our community for the last 13 years. Since re-organizing in 2013, we have made great strides organizationally and programmatically. The number of referrals for financial assistance has continued to increase each year and, due to strong community support, we have been able to accept 100% of eligible applicants. We have responded to the changing national (cancer) landscape by creating new programs and expanding existing offerings.

In the Summer of 2018, we moved into a new, centrally located office space that has allowed for continued growth and expansion.
