The American Cancer Society is reducing its overall budget by approximately 30%, with cuts to non-personnel and personnel expenses as a result of a decrease in fundraising revenue.

ACS eliminated 1,000 positions across the U.S.

“We are also making a fundamental shift in how we engage and serve communities. Within a very short period of time, we had to reconfigure our entire portfolio to honor donor dollars and continue to advance our mission amid these very difficult times,” ACS officials said in a statement. “We will continue to engage with people where they live their lives, with a greater emphasis on the digital world in which we live.”
