Cookies for Kids' Cancer is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on funding research to develop new and less toxic treatments for pediatric cancer, the leading cause of death from disease among U.S. children. It supports fundraising by guiding individuals, businesses, and organizations to host grassroots bake sales and other community events. Since its founding in 2008, the organization has awarded about $10 million to 80 research projects, including programs that have progressed to treatments used today for children with cancer. Grants are peer reviewed by a scientific advisory board of pediatric cancer oncologists, with funds directed to leading pediatric cancer centers such as Memorial Sloan Kettering, Dana-Farber, CHOP, St. Jude, and Texas Children's. Based in New York City, Cookies for Kids' Cancer has organized more than 7,000 events across all 50 states and 16 countries. Its primary audience includes individuals, businesses, and other organizations seeking to contribute to pediatric cancer research through fundraising activities, campaigns, and collaborations. The nonprofit operates within the philanthropic fundraising services space, emphasizing community-led events as a vehicle to advance medical research and improve treatment options for children. A recent development supporting its outreach is a corporate partnership with Denny's Corp in 2025 to donate to pediatric cancer research.
