Brain Cancer Canada is a registered charity whose purpose is to raise funds to support the research needed to advance finding a cure for Brain Cancer. In the absence of a cure the charity must at the very least help find a prevention therapy that will give brain cancer survivors a more optimistic and hopeful prognosis. Many charities retain a significant percentage of funds and donations received for administrative and operational costs (including salaries) and then disbursing the balance to the causes they support/ represent: Brain Matters differs in that it directs 100% of net proceeds raised to research initiatives. All work-related activities including administration marketing and outreach are performed by volunteer Board Members as well as community volunteers.
