C3 Funding Policy and Disclosure
C3: Colorectal Cancer Coalition is a national non-profit 501(c)(3) organization (Federal Tax ID: 20-2622550). C3’s mission is to win the fight against colorectal cancer through research, empowerment and access.
C3 receives its funding from a combination of individual contributions and grants. Our grants come from both corporate and non-corporate sources. C3 has developed the following policy to guide and more clearly define our relationship with supporters.
- Funding from corporations for projects and educational programs are charitable donations or unrestricted educational grants. While we welcome input from our corporate partners, C3 has ultimate authority over program development, content and speaker selection.
- C3 projects and programs will publicly disclose funding sources. Speakers representing C3 will clearly disclose funding sources.
- All speakers at C3 events will be required to disclose their relationship with the corporate partner.
- C3 does not endorse any medical product, treatment protocol or service or provide medical advice to patients. C3’s Medical Review Network will review and approve all areas of the “For Patients” section to ensure accurate and full reporting of treatment risks and benefits.
- C3 does not sell advertising on our website. However, corporate and individual donors may be thanked for their support of a program in the form of a link to their website from C3’s site. A link to a supporter’s website from C3’s site is not an endorsement of any product or service.
- C3’s Research Updates will present information of interest to the patient community. Every effort will be made to ensure that information is presented accurately and completely. Updates may occasionally link to product-specific websites.
- Every effort will be made to ensure that information presented in materials and at programs will be presented in fair balance.
- Any corporate partner wishing to reference C3 or any C3 project in any public relations, marketing or promotional materials or activities, must first seek the prior review and written approval of C3.
- C3 reserves the right to approve the participation of third parties that may be recommended for involvement in any program, project or event.
- C3 does not enter into exclusive partnerships.
- C3 does not sell or share its mailing list.
- All materials and programs developed by C3 are the property of C3, must carry C3 copyright, and as such, cannot be changed, modified or duplicated without prior written permission from C3.
