How we WORK with other foundations
Funding Research
This DDRFA is group of foundations & funds who fund grants together for research, trial access and data integration or utilization. We are passionate about providing funds to develop an understanding of Diffuse Midline Gliomas, including DIPG. Since June of 2022, we have funded nearly $4 Million in research grants together for DIPG DMG research, data, trials and the national tumor board formation.
Supporting Families
We are a network of foundations and funds working together to streamline the application process for patient families. Many of us have faced similar challenges, worrying about unpaid bills and travel for clinical trials.
Our goal is to meet the immediate needs of families, help families connect to resources and fund those that otherwise fall through the cracks.
