Beljanski Foundation

What Beljanski Foundation does

The Beljanski Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1999 by Sylvie Beljanski to continue the research legacy of her father, Dr. Mirko Beljanski, a Serbian-French scientist who worked at the Pasteur Institute. The foundation advances research and education on natural, integrative approaches to cancer prevention and treatment, with a specific scientific focus on cancer stem cells — the cells implicated in recurrence and metastasis — using proprietary natural plant extract compounds: Pao pereira, Rauwolfia vomitoria, and Golden leaf ginkgo biloba. Its core research program is conducted in partnership with Kansas University Medical Center, where completed studies have produced positive results against breast, pancreatic, and ovarian cancer stem cells, and current efforts target prostate cancer stem cells with a $240,000 fundraising goal.

The foundation's primary go-to-market vehicle is the annual Beljanski Integrative Cancer Conference, held in Jacksonville, FL (2023), Austin, TX (2025), and San Diego, CA (2026). Revenue is generated through a tiered, event-driven model: in-person ticket sales ($129-$547), virtual livestream access ($179), gala fundraising dinners ($397), Mexico clinics tours ($147), conference replay video series ($197), sponsorship and exhibitor fees, and tax-deductible donations. The customer base spans cancer patients and survivors, caretakers and family members, integrative oncology practitioners, and health-conscious individuals. Sponsorship is concentrated among Mexico-based integrative cancer clinics (Hope4Cancer, Oasis of Hope, Immunity Therapy Center, Health Institute de Tijuana) and Maison Beljanski, a Platinum sponsor and related dietary supplement company also founded by Sylvie Beljanski. Marketing leverages social media, email, podcast/radio interviews, press releases, and speaker-driven referral promotion.
