Notes:
The purpose of this quick outline and comparison chart is an effort to provide a brief

on informed decision making. As noted, the information has been either taken from
government-based financial returns (Canada ) and/or from website information.
Differences exist in reporting. Other information:
· Ovarian Cancer Canada : according to website 6 x $150,000 research grants
– note financial information per government return
· Ovarian Cancer Canada and Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada partner with
Canadian Partnership Against Canada
· CEO Ovarian Cancer Canada : additional responsibilities (2009) as co-chair leader
of National Survivorship Working Group - Canadian Partnership Against Canada
· The Government of Canada funded the Canadian Partnership Against Canada
in 2006/07 - $250 million/5 year commitment (The Partnership is wholly funded
through a new Funding Agreement dated March 13, 2009 , with Health Canada
which calls for $220.7 million of contributions over the four years ended March 31, 2012 .)
· Selected category differences exist due to changes in reporting procedures
