Find the cure.

The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC) believes that a cure will be found for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. To realize this, the CCFC is committed, first and foremost, to raise increasing funds for medical research.

The CCFC also believes it is important to make all individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) aware of the Foundation, and educate these individuals, their families, health professionals and the general public about these diseases.

In undertaking this vision, the CCFC believes:

• The greatest proportion of funds raised must be allocated to research;
• Collaboration with the medical community is imperative;
• Goals must be set and met throughout the organization;
• Participation by volunteers is crucial to our success;
• The success of the Foundation rests on the mutual respect of staff and volunteers;
• The national nature of the Foundation must be respected;
• All volunteers, members, supporters and employees have a right to contribute in an environment that asserts the personal worth and dignity of each individual.
