Different Model

Our model is Different

The Kos Foundation is a trusted strategic leader and partner to researchers, patients, thought leaders and philanthropists. With an unbiased expert perspective and a global network of contacts, our wide-ranging view of the field lets us collaborate to solve complex problems that require different talents and target resources where they are needed most — to pay off for patients faster.

It is accepted practice among private disease research funders that the most important decisions — how to allocate donor-raised pounds — are made by external scientific advisors and boards. We bucked this model from day one in favour of building an in-house team of formally trained PhDs, researchers and business-trained Project Managers.

We’re on a mission to meet every person with cancer’s online or face to face. We're committed to connecting patients and families to the robust nationwide CD community. By participating in clinical trials, advocating for Cancer's policy or engaging in our community and Our Team Events, they are helping us carry new therapies over the goal line.
