American Indian Cancer Foundation
This Foundation imagines a world where cancer is no longer the leading cause of death for American Indians and Alaska Natives. Our mission is to eliminate the cancer burdens of Indigenous people through improved access to prevention, early detection, treatment, and survivor support.
Through hard work, culturally appropriate community-based programs, and policy change that afford Native people access to the best prevention and treatment strategies, we see a day where American Indian communities are free of the burdens of cancer.
We champion collaborations and partnerships that leverage community interest, resources, and investments.
We engage tribes and mainstream health organizations through presentations, exhibits, media and social media.
We identify prevention and healing approaches based on tribal teachings, sovereignty and self-determination.
We develop and share model frameworks for community education and outreach, clinical systems innovations, and survivor support.
The American Indian Cancer Foundation (AICAF) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that was established to address the tremendous cancer inequities faced by American Indian and Alaska Native communities.
AICAF’s board members and employees have an array of experiences serving the health needs of our people.
