A Call for Support

Since 1969, the Stehlin Foundation has spent more than $54 million on cancer
research. Unlike most cancer research institutes, which are funded primarily
through university medical schools and government grants, the Stehlin Foundation is
a small, independent group whose research and treatment programs are currently funded entirely by private donations.

The cost of maintaining a high quality facility, staff, and equipment created an annual operating budget of approximately $2.7 million in 2005. With an administrative staff of only two, the Foundation underwrites a laboratory staff of 14 skilled and highly motivated individuals, supported by 10-15 students participating in the Educational Scholarship program. By concentrating its efforts on a relatively small number of research projects and rewarding employees for their assistance in cutting operational expenses, the Stehlin Foundation has operated with refreshingly low administrative costs – averaging less than 15% on an annual basis.

The Foundation is a tax-exempt charitable organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. As such all contributions to the Foundation are tax deductible. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated, and go directly to work supporting the Stehlin Foundation’s unique approach in the fight
against cancer. If you would like more information, or wish to help with fund raising activities, please call Bobby Anderson at 713.659.1336.
