Anna Fuller Fund

The Anna Fuller Fund is a charitable foundation managed by Wells Fargo Trust Philanthropic Services Private Foundations. It was established by Egbert C. Fuller in memory of his wife, who passed away from cancer. The fund supports nonprofit organizations that work to alleviate suffering caused by cancer through research and public education efforts focused on its prevention and treatment. The foundation’s primary purpose is to provide financial support to projects that advance scientific understanding of cancer, including its causes, treatment, and care. Additionally, the fund supports initiatives that educate the public on cancer prevention and treatment strategies. However, grant funds cannot be used directly for the treatment of individuals suffering from cancer, except when such treatment is incidental to a research or educational initiative. Eligible organizations must be classified as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. International organizations with equivalent charitable status are also eligible, though they must undergo additional documentation and review. The fund awards grants specifically for program support, emphasizing structured cancer research initiatives and educational campaigns aimed at preventing and treating cancer. Applications are accepted year-round, but must be submitted by July 31st to be considered for the annual review held at the end of the year. Notifications regarding grant decisions are typically communicated by January of the following year. Selected projects may be required to submit periodic and final reports detailing their progress and outcomes. The average grant size ranges from $75,000 to $150,000, with an average of 5 to 8 grants awarded annually. The total average funding disbursed each year is approximately $850,000. All applications must be submitted through the fund’s online platform. Technical and program support can be obtained by calling 1-888-235-4351 or emailing grantadministration@wellsfargo.com.
