Since no hospital has a monopoly on good ideas, St. Baldrick’s funds the most promising research — no matter where it happens.
Choosing that research takes more than 200 experts.
Funding it takes people like you!
Together, we support more childhood cancer research grants than any other charity.

The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is a volunteer and donor powered charity committed to supporting the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long and healthy lives.
It affects kids from all walks of life, whether they’re learning to walk or learning to drive, live in big cities or small towns, have brown eyes or blue eyes. It doesn’t discriminate based on ethnicity, gender, or socio-economic status. Kids with cancer deserve a lifetime and are the heart of the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.
Since 2005, we’ve invested over $314 million in childhood cancer research grants worldwide. It’s about collaboration. It’s about powerful ideas, big and small. It’s about never giving up until we have cures for all kids with cancer.
