What's a reliable cancer/ cancer research foundation to donate to?

Question

I recently got quite a sum of money and am planning to donate to assist patients with cancer or cancer research. I also want to make sure that the money goes directly into helping the cause, and not into someone's paycheck. Plz help me find the most reliable/ best foundations or let me know what you recommend! Thanks.

Answer 1

american cancer society.org is a good one to look up

Answer 2

here is a research group  but they dont ask for money               http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/

Answer 3

You didn't say if you were looking for a specific type of cancer. Try www.charitynavigator.com  You can read up on the groups and see what percentage of the budget is spent on overhead, salaries, etc.
