Supporting Scientific Research
Our objective is to identify research facilities where funds would be best utilized. What laboratories are taking new and inventive approaches to understand and treat cancer, diabetes, and heart disease? The money raised is donated to the Center for Biomolecular Structure and Organization, directed by Dr. George Lorimer, at the University of Maryland. The Center focuses on fundamental protein research, which can be applied to many medical research areas, including cancer and heart disease.
Why donate to the Cohen Foundation? Our goal is to donate 100% of the money we raise. The founders intend to cover administrative costs required to run the Cohen Foundation, allowing all funds raised to be donated directly to the designated recipients. Major charitable organizations, due to their size, cannot forward 100% of donations, having to use some donations to cover overhead expenses.
