CAN TOO FOUNDATION LIMITED
Tips for Applicants
This is not a traditional grant-maker where organisations apply directly. Instead, the foundation works through community participation—individuals join fitness programs and fundraise on behalf of researchers. For researchers seeking funding, the best approach is to connect with the foundation through their community events or inquire directly about how early-career researchers can be nominated for funding through the participant program.
Giving Philosophy
Can Too Foundation funds early-career cancer research projects by mobilising community participants through fitness programs. The foundation values community engagement, personal challenge, and scientific innovation—connecting people who want to get fit while making a tangible impact on cancer research. Grants support groundbreaking discoveries in prevention, treatment, and control of cancer.
