The National Children's Cancer Society (NCCS) is an American charity based in St. Louis, Missouri which supports pediatric cancer programs domestically and abroad.
The group was initially founded in 1987 to help pay for the then relatively new bone marrow transplantation procedure for children, which was at the time not covered by most American health insurance. Since that time, insurance now covers the procedure, and the scope of the charity has expanded into other areas.[1]
The charity reports that over its history it has given "$47 million in direct financial assistance to more than 25,000 children," in addition to assistance through other programs.[1]
The NCCS had assets of $3.7 million, and an annual budget of $36.3 million in fiscal year 2008.[2]
