AFTER PAUSING NEW GRANTS IN 2023, THE RIVKIN CENTER FUNDED TWO $75K PILOT STUDY AWARDS IN 2024. THE RIVKIN CENTER AND WASHINGTON STATE'S ANDY HILL CANCER RESEARCH ENDOWMENT (CARE) FUND ALSO CREATED A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP TO JOINTLY SUPPORT $1M IN OVARIAN CANCER RESEARCH IN WASHINGTON STATE. IN 2024, THE FIRST TWO GRANTS TOTALING $400K WERE AWARDED; $600K IN GRANTS WILL BE AWARDED IN 2025. BY THE END OF 2024, THE RIVKIN CENTER HAD RAISED ITS $500K IN PRIVATE MATCHING FUNDS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
