Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Schweizerisches Rotes Kreuz (Swiss Red Cross): Large Swiss humanitarian nonprofit offering health, social, and community services. Comparable as a donation-funded, member-based health nonprofit but broader than cancer-specific.
• Deutsche Krebsgesellschaft (DKG): German oncology society certifying cancer centers and supporting patient information. Comparable as a cancer-focused nonprofit association, with broader certification/accreditation role.
• Krebsliga Schweiz (Swiss Cancer League): National umbrella organization of which Krebsliga Ostschweiz is a regional member. Directly comparable as a Swiss cancer-focused nonprofit providing counseling, information, screening, and research support across the country.
• American Cancer Society: Largest U.S. cancer nonprofit funding research, providing patient support, and running screening awareness. Comparable mission and donation-based model at much larger national scale.
• Deutsche Krebshilfe: Germany's leading cancer nonprofit funding research, prevention, and patient support. Comparable in mission and programs but operates at national scale in a different country.

Others

• Cancer Research UK: Major UK cancer charity combining research funding with patient information and support services. Comparable as a donation-funded cancer nonprofit with research + patient-facing services.

Direct peers

• Krebsliga Bern: Another regional Krebsliga offering cancer counseling, prevention programs, and self-help groups under the same national umbrella. Direct peer along service model and target population.
• Krebsliga Zentralschweiz: Regional cancer league for central Swiss cantons with identical service mix — counseling, screening advocacy, and support groups. Direct peer operating under the same national framework.
• Krebsliga Zürich: Sister regional cancer league serving Canton Zürich with the same service portfolio — counseling, screening, self-help groups, and palliative support. Most directly comparable regional peer.

Regional players

• Pro Senectute: Leading Swiss nonprofit providing social services, counseling, and self-help for older adults. Comparable mission and funding model, but focused on aging rather than cancer specifically.
