Janus Henderson Offers Money Market Fund to Support the American Cancer Society's Efforts in Advocacy, Research & Patient Support

ATLANTA and DENVER, Sept. 16, 2024 - The American Cancer Society (ACS) and Janus Henderson, a global active asset manager, today announced an innovative partnership to support cancer research, advocacy, and patient support.

Through this pioneering initiative, Janus Henderson will donate an amount equal to half of its management fees for all assets under management from Janus Henderson's Government Money Market Fund ("the Fund") to ACS. Janus Henderson has committed to donating a minimum of $1 million per year to ACS for the next three years through this innovative partnership to support the fight against cancer.

"We are honored to support the American Cancer Society, and it's our sincere hope this partnership will help create a brighter future for many. Among cancer's many impacts, the financial burden of a diagnosis can be devastating. Through this initiative, Janus Henderson and our clients can now easily support critical work in advocacy, research, and patient support, helping to improve the lives of both cancer patients and their families," said Ali Dibadj, CEO of Janus Henderson.

Cancer is still the second leading cause of death worldwide¹ and this year the annual ACS Cancer Facts & Figures report projects that the number of new cancer diagnoses in the United States will top two million. For many, access to quality care is not uniformly accessible and once diagnosed many may experience financial hardship. This initiative is a novel fundraising mechanism for ACS, a 501(c)(3) charity.

"Together with Janus Henderson, we are supporting cancer patients and families across the cancer continuum by partnering in this innovative fundraising method," said Dr. Karen Knudsen, CEO of the American Cancer Society. "Their generous support will increase our ability to fund groundbreaking research, advocate for better access to care at the federal and local levels and provide direct patient support to help us end cancer as we know it, for everyone."

Janus Henderson's partnership with ACS is part of Janus Henderson's Brighter Future Project.The Brighter Future Project looks for innovative ways to enhance Janus Henderson's positive impact on clients, employees, and the communities it serves, creating a virtuous cycle of impact.
