The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is an Australian non-profit organisation funding breast cancer research. It was established in 1994, and has awarded more than $200 million AUD to over 600 research projects across Australia.[1] It primarily funds research projects studying the prevention of breast cancer, how to detect breast cancer early, stopping the progression and recurrence of breast cancer and treating hard-to-treat and metastatic breast cancer.[2]

Campaigns organised by the organisation include its October Pink Ribbon campaign,[3] its June GO PINK campaign,[4] and its August Step Up to Breast Cancer campaign.[5] It also participates in the Mother's Day Classic,[6] a national walk-run held annually on Mother's Day.

NBCF is dedicated to funding world-class breast cancer research, towards driving progress towards their vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer.
