The Mauer Foundation was created to ensure cancer patients receive direct, meaningful support when they need it most. Founded on the belief that generosity should never be diluted, we operate with no middlemen and no overhead—ensuring 100% of funds raised go directly to cancer patients.
Founded by Mark Mauer, who is currently fighting Stage 4 colorectal cancer, The Mauer Foundation understands firsthand the physical, emotional, and financial challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis. This lived experience shapes everything we do and reinforces our commitment to providing direct financial assistance that helps ease the burden during an already overwhelming time.
At The Mauer Foundation, transparency matters. Donors deserve to know exactly where their support goes, and patients deserve to be helped with dignity and respect. Through community-driven fundraising and responsible giving, we connect generosity directly to impact—without barriers, red tape, or overhead.
We are more than a nonprofit. We are people standing together to ensure that no one has to fight cancer alone.
