American Society Cancer
American Society Cancer (ASC) is a nonprofit organization
dedicated to eliminating cancer through medical and volunteer
operation in the United States. The activities that ASC engages
includes providing grants and organizing awareness program to
advertise and inform the society about cancer. The gifts offered
are used to fund researchers, serving callers in the National
Cancer Information Centre as well as discovering the links
between cancer and smoke. More than two million people
volunteer with the American Society cancer in more than 3400
offices. ASC also funds scientist dedicated to discovering life-
saving treatments of cancer and develop preventive measures.
The primary aspects that the organization concern with include
prevention, treatment and detection and research on the disease.
American Society Cancer works with the local government
authorities to provide cancer services as well inform the society
about cancer.
The nonprofit organization shares many services with the local
government. Health is among the priorities of any government
hence it is intimately involved in any activities on health. ASC
informs the society about cancer and creates awareness on the
necessity of having a cancer-free society (Davidson et al.,

2. 2015). Also, the organization partners with companies and other
organizations to fund for cancers related activities such as
research on best practices in cancer issues. Besides, the
organization provides the local government with the human
power to engage in delivering different cancer-related activities.
ASC is helped the society to reduce cancer deaths considerably
in the United States. In enhancing effective communication with
external and internal audiences, the organization should apply
the following strategies. Firstly, it should raise awareness and
also equip employees with information and skills. There should
include the formation of a liaison committee to ensure all
stakeholders are involved in the program. Lastly, there should
be a clear communication plan in and out of the organization.
American Society Cancer important objective is to save lives in
the United States. In achieving this objective, the organization
has volunteers working together with the community to create
awareness and treat cancer. ASC gets dedicated to having a
cancer-free society through prevention and treatment of disease.
The volunteer initiative is a supplementary to local government
relationship with the organization purpose and objective
(Crawford et al., 2015). The organization also complements the
role of government in the health sector. More so, the
organization gets a lot of support in relation with cancer. The
national government in collaboration with the local government
offers to fund for different programs. Also, the local
government fund cancer training in partnership with NCCCP
and George Washington Cancer Institution (Hamilton et al.,
2015). The funding is used in the implementation of
comprehensive cancer control and also supports communication
strategies to the local and ensures cancer programs success and
leverage increase in resources supporting the program.
I would mobilize more resources from the local governments to
support comprehensive cancer control. With the support of local
government, I would advocate for more fundraising from

3. different stakeholders. Through this people will be willing to
offer total assistance and contribute positively to cancer
control. Besides, I would support more campaigns to create
awareness about cancer. The community should have enough
information and knowledge about cancer to help eliminate cases
of cancer and save lives. I would use the internet to
communicate and pass the message about cancer to the
community. Online cancer training would help the organization
in training people about cancer and build a big team of service
providers. Lastly, I would upload more information about
cancer online access for people to read. Online coaching and
awareness programs would help communicate about cancer.
However, American Society Cancer faces a lot of challenges
which affects service delivery of the nonprofit organization.
Firstly, the government delays in releasing of grants and
financial support which affects effectiveness and efficiency in
service delivery (Collins et al., 2016). When the organization
gets funded late, it would be not competent in providing
services and supporting employees in their duties. Secondly,
their organization experiences complex legal requirement and
procedures in developing and implementing cancer programs.
There is a challenge in the complex conditions by the local
government as well as the state government on reports from the
survey. The organization is required to file complex information
from many studies and programs (Willons et al., 2015). The
challenges mentioned in the earlier relationship between the
organization and the local governments. There is wastage of
time, the high cost of operation and also reduced morale for the
organization. In managing these issues, I would hire qualified
and dedicated administrative staff to maintain the relationship
with local government.
American Society Cancer faces financial challenges contributed
by high tax for cancer drugs and cancer treatment. The cost of
cancer drugs and cancer operation machine is high for a

4. nonprofit organization to afford. Besides, the procedures for
developing medications due to more time spent on reviewing
drugs (Fojo et al., 2014). Also, there are more economic
regulations required by the government. The government needs
complex processes during application and implementation of the
cancer programs. Lastly, different countries are advocating cut
for health care spending. It affects the mission of achieving a
cancer-free society. The local government and the government
of the state should work closely to ensure global economic and
political factors do not influence the nonprofit organization.
In the project, I have learned that there is a need for all
stakeholders to ensure that they receive support from all parties.
Cancer control requires the involvement of many stakeholders
for better results. The community too has a responsibility to
check on the activities they engage. In my career, I would create
awareness and advocate for community involvement. There is a
need for the use of technology to teach the community about
cancer and the need to have a cancer-free society. The city
should get informed about its crucial role in controlling and
preventing cancer. More nonprofit should join in fighting cancer
and creating public awareness.
