Available below are the Combined Financial Statements of the American Cancer Society, Inc.(National Home Office), Foundation, Cancer Action Network, and Chartered Divisions. These financial statements provide the most meaningful financial information on the entire American Cancer Society organization, since they are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and combine all parts of the organization in one statement.
Form 990's
The IRS form 990 is an annual federal income tax return that all charitable
corporations that are exempt from income tax are required to file. The figures in these
statements are presented in accordance with IRS regulations, which in some cases are at
variance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The American Cancer Society is required by the IRS to submit three Form 990's each
fiscal year. One is for its National Home Office; a second for its regional Divisions on a
combined basis; and the third is for its national Foundation. Because these statements
each only present a piece of the American Cancer Society's operations, and because they
include material inter-company income, expenses, assets, and liabilities, they cannot be
used to obtain an accurate picture of the American Cancer Society as a whole. However,
they are included on our web site in order to comply with IRS regulations requiring these
forms to be widely available to the public. The application for tax exemption, also
required by IRS regulations in certain instances, is provided only for the Foundation,
since the other applications were filed before July 15, 1987 and no copy was on hand on
that date.
