The FCS Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2011 and located at 5204 Paylor Lane, Sarasota, Florida. The Foundation assists cancer patients across the state. Due to the generosity of partner physicians at Florida Cancer Specialists, all overhead expenses are covered, so 100 % of donations go directly to paying the essential non‑medical living expenses of adults battling cancer.
