The American Institute for Cancer Research® is a nonprofit, tax exempt organization whose purpose is to provide funding support for research into the relationship between diet, nutrition and cancer and to expand consumer knowledge about the results of such research as it relates to cancer prevention and treatment in the United States and worldwide. Contributions to AICR are deductible for federal income tax purposes.
For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, the Institute’s expenses totaled $14,084,577. Of that amount, 16% was spent directly in support of cancer research, and 47% of expenses went in support of the Institute’s public education programs in cancer prevention. Together, research and public education programs accounted for 63% of all expenditures by the Institute. Fundraising costs for the year were 20% of total expenses and 17% of expenses went to administrative costs.
Other agencies in cancer research traditionally have been committed to chemotherapy, radiation and surgery – areas other than nutrition. And, recent budgetary restrictions have further squeezed nutrition to the fringe of their priorities. AICR, which was founded in 1982, is one of the main funding organizations that focuses specifically on issues of diet, nutrition and cancer.
