Mission
OUR MISSION IS TO RAISE AWARENESS AND FUND CUTTING-EDGE CLINICAL RESEARCH FOR PEDIATRIC BRAIN CANCER; FOCUSING ON CANCER'S BIGGEST BULLY, DIPG.
-
OUR MISSION IS TO RAISE AWARENESS AND FUNDING FOR CUTTING-EDGE CLINICAL RESEARCH FOR PEDIATRIC BRAIN CANCER, FOCUSING ON DIPG/DMG. WE HAVE THREE STRATEGIC PILLARS TO HELP FULFILL THIS MISSION: ADVOCACY/AWARENESS, FAMILY SUPPORT, AND CLINICAL RESEARCH. 1. ADVOCACY/AWARENESS: WE ARE CURRENTLY BUILDING OUT OUR ADVOCACY PROGRAM, BUT WE CONTINUOUSLY RAISE AWARENESS THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND DIGITAL MARKETING PLATFORMS THAT ALLOW US TO REACH OUR AUDIENCE TO PROVIDE EDUCATION AND INFORMATION ABOUT PEDIATRIC BRAIN CANCER AND CHILDHOOD CANCER IN GENERAL. 2. FAMILY SUPPORT: WE OFFER AN ONLINE APPLICATION VIA OUR WEBSITE FOR PARENTS TO FILL OUT IF THEY HAVE A CHILD WITH DIPG/DMG AND HAVE TO TRAVEL TO RECEIVE TREATMENT (EITHER RADIATION OR A CLINICAL TRIAL). WE HELP BRIDGE THE FINANCIAL GAP FOR PARENTS BY OFFERING THEM FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR TRAVEL/RENT/FOOD ASSOCIATED WITH TREATMENT. 3. RESEARCH: WE ARE A VISIONARY MEMBER OF THE DIPG/DMG COLLABORATIVE. THIS IS A GROUP OF 25 FOUNDATIONS WHO JOINTLY PULL OUR ALLOCATED RESEARCH DOLLARS TOGETHER IN ORDER TO FUND MORE, BETTER AND BIGGER RESEARCH GRANTS. THIS ALSO HELPS REDUCE REDUNDANCY OF RESEARCHERS BEING FUNDED BY MULTIPLE ORGANIZATIONS FOR THE SAME GRANT. HERE IS THE WEBSITE: HTTPS://DIPGCOLLABORATIVE.ORG

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.
