About SRI SHANKARA CANCER FOUNDATION USA

Sri Shankara Cancer Foundation USA (SSCF-USA) is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit established to raise funds and awareness for cancer treatment and related initiatives in India. The organization was registered in the U.S. in 2011 and supports treatment at the Sri Shankara Cancer Hospital and Research Centre in Bengaluru. SSCF-USA primarily organizes community fundraisers, galas and music events to sponsor patient care (chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy and diagnostics) and to augment research and awareness programs. Since 2014 the organization reports sustained fundraising and patient-support activity, with totals shown on its site documenting more than $1.5M in cancer-treatment support and several hundred patients sponsored. Governance is volunteer-led with an active volunteer and chapter structure (including a North East youth chapter launched in 2021). Recent activity includes ongoing annual galas and music-based fundraisers (events listed through 2022 and a Swara Sanjeevini event in 2024), and regular donor-driven patient sponsorship campaigns.
