About Us
The GRACE Cancer Foundation, a registered non-profit organization based in India, was born from a vision to combat the impact of cancer. Our mission encompasses Education, Early detection, Treatment, Rehabilitation, and cutting-edge Research, with a commitment to reaching those in need. We offer CURE, CARE, and COMPASSION, shining a beacon of hope, empathy, and support.
Our journey began with a dedicated group of doctors stepping beyond their duties, evolving into a harmonious team. We firmly believe that where there is vision, provision follows. Passionate doctors and humanitarians joined forces to realize this vision.
Our motivation stems from personal experiences, as many of us have seen loved ones battle cancer. Dr. Chinnababu’s mother, Smt. Asheerwadamma, inspired our mobile screening campaign, a testament to the power of suffering uniting people and giving purpose.
Along the way, like-minded philanthropists and organizations generously supported our cause. We’ve transformed from an NGO into a transformative social enterprise, gaining 12A and 80G income tax exemptions in 2014. In 2018, we achieved FCRA registration, enabling us to receive Foreign Donations.
At GRACE, our vision fuels us, and our commitment to combating cancer remains unwavering. Together, we illuminate lives with hope, compassion, and a relentless pursuit of a cancer-free world.
