​Dutch Cancer Society

We spent 80% of our budget to finance cancer research; 20% is spent to public awareness and information, prevention and patient support programmes.

 

The DCS’ headquater is located in Amsterdam; our professional staff amount to 140 persons

Over 120.000 volunteers support the Dutch Cancer Society whether it comes to local or nation-wide fundraising, scientific or policy advise in several councils and committees..

 

We could rely on nearly 1600 local committees that organise our annual door-to-door knocking campaign to raise funds for the fight against cancer (annual revenue around € 9 million).

 

The Dutch Cancer Society is supported by 880.000 donors.

 

We receive hardly any money from the government.
