What is the CPRIT Foundation?
The Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, exists to provide support for all efforts of the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas. Because the CPRIT Foundation is non-profit, investments are tax-deductible as a charitable contribution.
Why is the CPRIT Foundation Important?
Voters created the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas to accelerate research that will bring science closer to a cure. Coinciding with that research, CPRIT strives to recruit more top scientists to bring their efforts to Texas, develop consumer drugs to treat cancer, and in the process, create more job opportunities in our state. Additionally, CPRIT is focused on advancing prevention methods that will help make screenings accessible to more Texans so that cancers can be detected early.
CPRIT has two important objectives -saving lives and creating jobs in Texas.
While taxpayer dollars fund the grants to these innovative projects, the resources from the CPRIT Foundation enhance CPRIT’s efforts to engage the public and other cancer specialists and advocates across the country to successfully achieve all of its noble objectives laid out by the Texas legislature.
