Canary Foundation of Canada is a Public Foundation registered with the Canada Revenue Agency; Business Number 82906 8550 RROOO1.The Canary Foundation has assembled teams of cancer researchers recognized by their peers as leaders in their disciplines from across multiple institutions and disciplines to attack the problem of early detection in a new, collaborative, action-oriented manner with the foremost objective of translating research into clinical applications. Canary differentiators include: * Dedication to early detection * Leaders in collaborative science * Focused and managed research * Best-in-class talent * 100% of donations goes to researchOne of the first decisions the Science Team made was to choose ovarian cancer as a prototype for creating an early detection blood test to detect trace amounts of proteins called biomarkers pro | MissionDesc |

| Desc | Canary Scientific ProgramsCanary is the worlds only non-profit focused solely on early cancer detection. We have multidisciplinary science teams focused on blood-based biomarkers or biological fingerprints that show the presence or progress of disease. Were pairing those biomarkers with advanced imaging technologies that will help us visualize a cancer type with more sensitivity and specificity. Our clinical programs cover tumors across five cancer types: breast, lung, ovarian, pancreas, and prostate. And to further ensure our success, we funded the Canary Center at Stanford for Cancer Early Detection, a world-class facility that hopes to save lives through early detection. | Desc |

| Desc | CANARY BREAST CANCER PROGRAMThe Breast Cancer Program is working to improve early detection of potentially lethal breast cancer by identifying biomarkers that complement existing imaging methods and by developing new imaging alternatives. The Breast Cancer Program is focused at Stanford and combines expertise in breast cancer care, in breast imaging, and in studying proteomic and gene expression changes in the body in response to disease. Additional work aims to identify biomarkers that distinguish women with cancer from those with benign conditions (such as a cyst). These biomarkers would potentially reduce the number of unnecessary invasive follow-up tests and enhance the interpretation of mammographic images for early detection of breast cancer. New imaging approaches may provide a more sensitive and more accurate approach for the | Desc |

We are testing several imaging alternatives, including a new PET imaging agent, enhanced ultrasound using targeted microbubbles, and photoacoustic imaging, for their ability to identify breast cancer early and to better distinguish cancer and benign conditions.CANARY OVARIAN CANCER PROGRAMThe goal of our ovarian research program is to develop a strategy to accurately identify ovarian cancers that would otherwise be lethal at a stage when they are readily curable. Our vision is of a two-stage screening strategy, consisting of a simple blood test followed by a molecular imaging test. Development of blood and imaging tests follows a similar roadmap; both include (continued on Schedule O) | Desc |

| Part X : FIN48 Footnote | Income TaxesFinancial statement presentation follows the recommendations of ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, the Fund is required to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by the Fund and requires a two-step process that separates recognition from measurement. The first step is determining whether a tax position has met the recognition threshold; the second step is measuring a tax position that meets the recognition threshold. Management believes that the Fund has adequately evaluated its current tax positions and has concluded that as of December 31, 2020, the Fund does not have any uncertain tax positions for which a reserve or an accrual for a tax liability would be necessary.The Fund has received notification from the Internal Revenue Service and the State of California that it qualifies for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. The exemptions are subject to periodic review by the federal and state taxing authorities and management believes that the Fund continues to satisfy all federal and state statutes in order to qualify for continued tax exemption status. |

| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: CANARY OVARIAN CANCER PROGRAM(continued from Form 990 Page 2)biomarker discovery followed by validation, but they also involve different techniques and challenges.CANARY LUNG CANCER PROGRAMCanary is focused on developing diagnostics with high sensitivity and specificity to detect otherwise lethal lung cancers at a stage when they are readily curable. To this end, Canary has assembled a team of experts who are collaborating to discover and validate biomarkers for blood and imaging tests that together will identify individuals harboring lethal lung cancers so that they can be removed. We plan to follow up on our research by rapidly propelling effective early detection cancer tests into the hands of clinical providers so that patients can begin to benefit as soon as possible. The Canary Lung Cancer Program supports the development and maintenance of critical biospecimen resources, blood biomarker discovery and validation, molecular imaging projects for early detection of lethal lung cancer, and epidemiology and modeling for effective lung cancer screening. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: CANARY PROSTATE CANCER PROGRAMThe specific goals of the Canary Foundation Prostate program are to develop tests that can: 1) Identify lethal prostate cancers at an early (curable) stage; 2) Classify prostate cancers as either 1) potentially lethal; best treated with aggressive therapy b) non-lethal: suitable for continued monitoring without aggressive treatment. Given the large body of published but unvalidated candidate markers for prostate cancer, we are focusing our initial efforts on evaluating the performance of a selected set of promising biomarkers. Candidate biomarkers are evaluated based on their ability to detect lethal prostate cancers at an early (curable) stage and to discriminate lethal from non-lethal prostate cancer. We are focusing on blood-based biomarkers for early detection and considering both blood-based and tissue-based biomarkers for prognostic applications. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: CANARY PANCREATIC CANCER PROGRAMCanary is focused on developing diagnostics with high sensitivity and specificity to detect otherwise lethal pancreatic cancers at an early stage when they can be cured through surgical section. We anticipate that no single biomarker will be sufficient to create a test with the required sensitivity and specificity to detect pancreatic cancer early. Instead, a definitive diagnosis will rely upon combinations of biomarkers and upon blood and imaging tests used together. To this end, the Canary pancreatic cancer team is collaborating to discover and validate biomarkers that will provide the basis for blood and imaging tests for the early detection of pancreatic cancer. We plan to follow up our research by rapidly propelling effective early detection tests into the hands of clinical providers to that patients can begin to benefit as soon as possible. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: CANARY COLLABORATIONS PROGRAMCanary Foundation believes that a collaborative, coordinated approach is necessary to achieve our goals. Our multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional Early Detection Program provides a great example of this philosophy in action. We created our Collaboration Program to foster this collaborative approach among the broader community of cancer researchers. We provide scientific program management to make sure that all funded research activities among the scientists and clinicians at the various partner institutions are on track and that any obstacles are rapidly addressed and overcome. The specific collaboration programs that we support include: national and international workshops and symposiums, a postdoctoral training program, an online scientific journal, and joint projects with government and foundations. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 8: CANARY CENTER AT STANFORD FOR CANCER EARLY DETECTIONOn September 13, 2008, together with Dr. Bev Mitchell, Director of Stanford's Cancer Institute, and Dr. Sanjiv (Sam) Gambhir, Director of Stanford's Molecular Imaging Programs (MIPS), Canary Foundation announced the creation of the Canary Center at Stanford. The Canary Center at Stanford is the only facility in the world with dedicated full-time faculty focused on the cancer early detection and integrates both blood and imaging-based diagnostic research. This first class integrated facility attracts and develops the best minds in the world to the problem of cancer early detection. Operations commenced in the spring of 2009.The Canary Center at Stanford operates in a 33,000-square-foot facility at Stanfords Technology and Innovation Park in Palo Alto. The Center houses multiple faculty devoted to early detection of cancer and over 100 research affiliates. Dr. Sanjiv (Sam) Gambhir, chair of Radiology at Stanford, leads the Center as Scientific Director. The Center is supported by research "cores" that provide scientific capabilities to the research teams. The four initial cores are Chemistry, Proteomics, Bioinformatics, and Clinical Trials.The Canary Center at Stanford brings together multiple stakeholders, including the School of Medicine, the Radiology Department, the Stanford Cancer Institute, and Canary Foundation. Initially, Canary Foundation dedicated $25 million for start-up costs, including equipment, modest renovations to the existing research facility, staffing, and faculty recruitment. The Department of Radiology committed to four new faculty members in molecular imaging, as well as $4 million to support faculty recruitment. The School of Medicine committed to four new faculty members for the Center and has committed to supporting the research programs. Four of the eight faculty positions have been filled.A Complete discussion of all of The Canary Foundation's program activities is provided on Form 990 Page 2 continues on Schedule O. Total Expenditures Related to Program Activities amounted to $3,621,840 during the year ended December 31, 2020. |
