Mission Statement

Hope Charity International (HCI): a vital force in the advancement of  approaches to cancer treatment, control, and prevention

A Mission Unlike Any Other
HCI is dedicated exclusively to the support and coordination of laboratory and clinical efforts that will lead to the immunological treatment, control, and prevention of cancer.

A Commitment to Research
Discovery-driven scientific research is the only way to find more effective, innovative approaches to cancer. HCI is committed to translating basic discovery into real-life applications in the clinic, and is dedicated to overcoming hurdles to academically-led clinical discovery efforts.

Excellence Choosing Excellence
Expert scientists including Nobel laureates and members of the National Academy of Sciences guide all of HCI’s funding decisions. Only the most compelling and competitive research projects are selected to receive HCI support. Former HCI grantees have gone on to win the Nobel Prize, head major cancer centers, and make breakthrough discoveries that are saving lives.

Accelerating Discovery Through Collaboration
Through its unparalleled clinical investigation programs and the Coordinated Cancer Initiatives, HCI convenes, directs, and funds an international array of scientists and clinicians who work together more efficiently toward shared goals.

A Tradition of Financial Responsibility
An investment in HCI goes a long way. With one of the lowest overhead expense ratios among non-profits, HCI’s donors can be certain their gifts will make the most impact.

Hope Charity International has received the Gold Seal of Transparency from GuideStar - a common format for nonprofits to report on their effectiveness.
