1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2025

• CANCER RESEARCH GRANTS: PEDIATRIC CANCER RESEARCH RECEIVES JUST 4% OF FEDERAL CANCER RESEARCH FUNDING, WITH AN EVEN SMALLER FRACTION ALLOCATED TO ULTRA-RARE CHILDHOOD MALIGNANCIES.

WE CO-FUND DIRECTLY A GRANT TO EARLY- CAREER SCIENTISTS VIA OUR 50,000 YOUNG INVESTIGATOR RESEARCH GRANTS TO SUPPORT INNOVATIVE, INVESTIGATOR-INITIATED SCIENCE. FURTHERMORE, WE PARTNER WITH THE BEAT CHILDHOOD CANCER RESEARCH CONSORTIUM TO CO-FUND AN ACTIVE RHABDOMYOSARCOMA RESEARCH DIVISION MANAGING CRITICAL PHASE I AND II CLINICAL TRIALS. WE ALSO PROVIDE VITAL ANNUAL GRANT FUNDING TO THE SOFT TISSUE SARCOMA DIVISION OF THE CHILDREN'S ONCOLOGY GROUP.

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.
