“We became interested in the flexibility and support that a Field of Interest Fund could provide. It enables the founders of our fund to do what we do best: identify tip of the spear, novel and less toxic childhood cancer research options, raise money to fund those options and care for our children who have been in the fight of their lives. We are freed from the requirement of all the back office work. The Community Foundation provides all of that as well as providing our donors with the utmost confidence in the handling of their donations.”
