About Us

Our Story & Foundation

Building a Foundation for Hope and Healing

The Delta Cancer Foundation was officially established on May 29, 2025, in Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu.

As an irrevocable public charitable trust, our inception was driven by a deep commitment to address the critical needs of cancer patients, particularly those from economically and socially disadvantaged backgrounds. We operate strictly for non-profit purposes and are governed by the robust framework of the Indian Trusts Act, 1882, ensuring transparency, accountability, and ethical governance in all our endeavors.

Our Vision

"To create a future where every individual, regardless of their socio-economic status, has access to comprehensive cancer care, early detection, and compassionate support, leading to a healthier and more resilient community free from the devastating impact of cancer."

Our Mission

"Our mission is to advance cancer-related healthcare through awareness, financial aid, medical consultations, early detection programs, and specialized training for medical professionals. We are dedicated to providing support and services primarily to individuals affected by cancer from economically and socially disadvantaged backgrounds across Tamil Nadu, with a commitment to expanding our reach across India."

Our Reach
