The Foundation made the difficult decision to end the Compute the Cure Cancer Care Grant program. Our 2018 grants will be the last awarded under this initiative.
The NVIDIA Foundation’s Compute the Cure Cancer Care grant program awards four $50,000 grants annually to support the work of cancer-focused nonprofit organizations working in six areas:
Prevention | Screening | Diagnosis | Treatment | Survivorship | End-of-Life Care
Each year, we solicit proposals from nonprofits around the world. An employee review committee assesses these applications and selects a small group of finalists. All employees then have the opportunity to vote for their favorite to help us determine the four recipients.
