National Breast Cancer Coalition

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. The National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC) is dedicated to ending breast cancer through advocacy, education, and research. They focus on empowering individuals and communities to take action against breast cancer. NBCC represents a network of hundreds of groups and tens of thousands of grassroots advocates who are racing against the clock to save lives. While other organizations fund awareness campaigns, NBCC funds research to put an end to breast cancer once and for all. Our activism has generated more than $4 billion new dollars for innovative breast cancer research. NBCC’s organizational mandate is to train and develop a strong, knowledgeable nationwide network of breast cancer advocates. NBCC’s Center for Advocacy Training teaches breast cancer activists the strategic and evidence-based approach to advocacy that NBCC pioneered. By offering world-class, targeted training in breast cancer science and public policy, NBCC readies breast cancer advocates to become agents of action and change in the mission to end breast cancer.
