Funding Crucial
Sarcoma Research

Dr. Crystal Mackall

Paul Meyers, MD

"If we want to do something truly innovative, to try something really new, we need seed money. We need money to let us try something and then go to the government to seek definitive funding to carry out the research on a larger scale. This novel innovative research is only funded through the generous donations of private individuals and foundations that support sarcoma research."

Your Donations to Sarcoma Research Make A Difference!

Four Star Charity

The Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative is a small, dedicated organization. We maintain an extremely low overhead. Thus, 97-98% of your donation (after credit card processing fees) will be used for sarcoma cancer research.

Donate Online!

Making an Online, Donation

Secure credit card donations can be made using the donation button to the right. Credit card processing is provided by WePay, which charges a 2.9% + 30¢ fee. These donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by United States law, and donors should print the payment confirmation page or e-mail receipt for tax purposes.

Targeting and Dedicating an Online Donation

Donations can be targeted toward research on a specific type of sarcoma, and they can be made in someone's honor or memory. You will have the opportunity to enter these details while making your online donation.

Mailed Donations

Mailed donations incur no processing fees. To donate by check, please make the check out to "FJC/Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative" and mail it to:

The Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative

If applicable, please specify the person's name and/or the specific sarcoma you are targeting on the "memo" line of the check. FJC will send a letter for IRS tax purposes acknowledging donations of $250 and above. For donations under $250, the IRS will accept a copy of your check as sufficient for tax purposes.
