The NCC Foundation is the core administrative body for the NCC Research Fund (NCCRF). Established in 2005, NCCRF serves as the flagship fundraising and grant-making channel of our Centre by providing seeding and bridging funds for an array of translational and clinical research programmes.

The NCCRF fulfills two objectives - Seeding and Bridging. Our mission as thus: firstly, we provide seeding funds to help kick-start worthy and emerging research projects; and in order to enable our scientists to work with productive momentum, we provide bridging funds between grant cycles when the need arises.

With cancer accounting for approximately one in three deaths in Singapore, the Centre plays a pivotal role in the holistic care and multidisciplinary-based treatment of cancer patients. There are around 80 nurses, 100 doctors and 200 researchers at NCC working towards this noble goal. Innovative medicine requires quality research; clinical research is an arduous undertaking and our doctor-scientists require ample philanthropic support and public understanding in order to usher medical breakthroughs for the benefit of the community.

NCCRF is registered under the Charities Act as an Institution of Public Character (IPC) with an independent Board of Trustees. All donations to the NCCRF are eligible for double tax exemption.
