Conquering cancer begins with you. By giving to CRI, your donations can translate into life-saving discoveries.

We’re the recognized leader in supporting the research of immunological approaches to preventing, controlling, or treating cancer. We’re also a well-established 501(c)(3) charitable organization with a strong record of fiscal responsibility. You can view our most recent financial statements on this site.

Support for top researchers worldwide
Every year, thousands of donors — individuals, trusts, corporations and foundations — join us in sponsoring exciting research initiatives around the globe. The healthier the funding, the sooner that effective new immunotherapies — more targeted and less toxic approaches to treating cancer — can be developed.

We turn donated dollars into selectively awarded fellowships and grants that recognize and nourish the educational training and research efforts of top scientists. Their projects range from individual investigations to collaborative efforts, from laboratory studies to clinical trials. Your donation can help our investigators pay for laboratory personnel, equipment and supplies, or other needs.

CRI funds also go toward conferences for CRI scientists as well as educational events for donors, patients and the public.

Watchdog and consumer protection organizations consistently rate CRI among America's top charities.

Generous gifts, wise investments
Because we appreciate every donation, we offer different giving methods to fit your needs:

1. You can give online or by phone with your credit card, or you can mail a check to us made payable to "Cancer Research Institute."
   
2. Property or securities donations: You also can donate vehicles, property, and securities to CRI.
   
3. Planned giving options: Naming CRI in your will or estate plans, including charitable annuities and trusts as well as life insurance and retirement plan gifts, can offer both you and CRI significant financial advantages.
   
4. Workplace giving: Employees can provide ongoing support through regular payroll deductions, especially if their companies provide matching gifts 

Donations to CRI are deductible for federal or state tax purposes as allowed by law. Planned giving can offer other tax advantages as well.

Recognition for loved ones and donors
Through your gift, you can donate in memory or in honor of someone. You can choose to have your donation allocated to a specific type of research, or to a specific geographic region (e.g., the Northeast). Or you can also ask us to direct the funds to where they are needed most.

We recognize donors in our annual reports and profile them in our publications and Real Stories series. If you prefer, we can keep your donation anonymous.
