  • APC Foundation accepts donations and contributions that serve APCF's vision, mission, and purpose. In-kind gifts and services include but are not limited to time donated as volunteers to APCF. The foundation will attempt to use facilities and any other professional service to be provided at cost or donated if possible. There is no agreement related to contributions from donors except that the foundation will use the money for educational and charitable purposes with minimal overhead. Donors receive no goods or services in return other than goodwill and profound gratitude. 
  • The APCF Board of Directors consists of volunteers with minimal overhead. Thus, almost all the funds received serve public interests.

The outreach program is our primary way of reaching potential patients in local community centers. Our skilled team, Board, Council, members, and donors serve as an inspiring force. APCF expects to increase efficiency and productivity to become a transformative organization for health and wellness for cancer patients, particularly prostate cancer. Our formula for success continues to hinge on APCF’s reputation as a trusted organization.

APCF healthcare professionals educate, raise awareness, and support the implementation of Yoga/Ayurveda/Nutritional therapies as complementary and integrated approaches to preventing and combating cancer. This helps patients coordinate the various modalities available to them. These plans include lifestyle recommendations such as diet, herbs, exercise/yoga, mindfulness, and self-awareness techniques to improve the quality of life.
