The Cancer Support Community (CSC) focuses on three areas of support: direct service delivery, research, and advocacy.

The organization includes an international network of Affiliates that offer social and emotional support for people impacted by cancer, as well as a community of support available online and over the phone. Its Research and Training Institute^[1] conducts psychosocial, behavioral and survivorship research. CSC furthers its focus on patient advocacy through the Cancer Policy Institute,^[2] informing public policy in Washington D.C. and across the nation.

Individual gifts, corporate and foundation contributions, and educational grants are the major sources of support for CSC.
