Mission Statement
The National Breast Cancer Coalition’s (NBCC) mission is to end breast cancer through the power of action and advocacy. NBCC increases funding for innovative breast cancer research; monitors how research funds are spent; expands access to quality health care for all; and ensures that trained advocates influence all decision making in breast cancer.
About This Cause
Founded in 1991, the National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC) is a collaboration of activists, survivors, researchers, policy-makers, grassroots groups and national organizations that have come together as disruptive innovators for social change. Our mission is to end breast cancer through the power of action and advocacy. We link hundreds of organizations and tens of thousands of individuals from across the country into a dynamic, diverse coalition that gives breast cancer a meaningful voice in Washington, D.C., and state capitals; in laboratories and health care institutions; and in local communities everywhere. From securing billions in funding to expanded health care access, NBCC is dedicated to real progress. NBCC increases federal funding for breast cancer research through the Department of Defense (DOD) Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP), monitors how research funds are spent, expands access to quality health care for all and ensures that trained advocates influence all decision making that affects breast cancer. We lead collaborations of scientists and other stakeholders in research strategies to end breast cancer. Our activism has generated more than 3.75 billion new dollars for breast cancer research. Our research initiatives and advocacy have helped bring about new models of research. We use collective power to secure change and end breast cancer. Our vision and advocacy led to the first-ever system of access to care for thousands of low-income women with breast and cervical cancer. And we’ve trained thousands of advocates who challenge the status quo and demand more wherever breast cancer decisions are made—from hospital boardrooms to Capitol Hill to research laboratories. We are forging new paths to meet the biggest challenges in ending breast cancer. We are determined to end this disease and are committed to overcoming whatever barriers are in the way. So when people say, “This is impossible”—and they will say it—we say, “Bring it on!” We are up to the challenge. To achieve our mission, NBCC is guided by three primary goals: Research: Promote research into the cause of, and optimal preventive and treatment interventions for, breast cancer through increased federal funding, fostering of innovation and collaborative approaches and improved accountability. Access: Improve access to quality breast cancer care for all women and men, from appropriate screening policies through diagnosis, treatment and care—particularly for the underserved and uninsured—through legislation and change in systems of delivery of health care. Influence: Educate and empower women and men as advocates, increasing the involvement and influence of those living with breast cancer and other breast cancer activists wherever and whenever breast cancer decisions are made. When we work together, every dollar we raise works harder. Every lesson we learn spreads faster. Every breakthrough we make goes further. And every effort brings us closer to our goal of knowing how to end breast cancer.
