From: Eva Dubin < To: < >, Jeffrey <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2011 02:34:11 +0000 Importance Normal Wow... Melanie you are brilliant!! Thank you for all this. I am looking for funding to run our center as well as funding for massage for the chemo patients and for our clinical trials. www.dubinbreastcenter.org I also have a very special dinical trial that we are looking to fund ( 100 K). I will send you details tomorrow. To: [email protected]; Subject: Re: Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2011 16:13:01 -0500 From: Hi Eva! There are several different sources, and it is a very competitive field. Few have been able to differentiate themselves enough to get attention of funders.You also need to be clear on what you want to do, how you will do it, and why you are the best positioned to do it. 1. Infrastructural costs: bldgs and equipment are usually offered by rich individuals who have been touched by the disease in one way or another. Most will require matched funding and also request naming rights. 2. Operational expensee: no one funds this. Donors are all looking to see that the business model is profitable and can sustain growth over at least the intermediate period. A few of the large infrastructure folks have offered a small grant for the non- recoverable costs associated with start up (like ads for hiring and other HR stuff) 3. Science: this is a mixed bag. Clinical trials and such are funded by drug companies and in some cases the NIH. There are some groups like the Komen foundation, Avon or Revlon that offer support but they have a notoriously short attention span and usually fit into the last category. 4. Awareness: I think this is a dumb category but it seems to get the most publicity since celebrities and donors looking for name recognition (=CSR) are always trolling for opportunity. In addition to the names above, you might also look at Atena (a water company). You can go to IRS.gov and do a scan for charities and search "breast". Then you can look through 990s and see who actually funds what they say they do and how much they give. The main problem will be that you can only search by name and some are family foundations without the word "breast" in them. Charity Navigator (http://www.charitynavigatororg/) is also a great place to search and you can use any terms you'd like. I have a few ideas for you, some very outside the box. 1. As a charitable organization, like COUQ or maybe some others that you know about, you can make loans in addition to grants. They are called PRIs (or program-related grants). They must meet with the charitable mission of the org and do require some painful due diligence but they result in below market rate loans. If what you need money for will eventually generate revenue or pay itself off, this might be a great use of a PRI. You just need to find a charitable organization that can leverage their balance sheet and has the same interests. Depending on who they are, you might talk about an equity stake and/or loan forgiveness (they need to be sophisticated...) or you can go the easy route with regular debt. 2. JEE might not like this idea but I have always thought that Victoria's Secret doesn't do enough here. They are all about breasts...If they have a foundation you should structure something really cool like a 5 year grant, some publicity and a PRI. But you'd have to have a unique story a super business plan. The IRS watches closely. Hope that is helpful, melanie EFTA00904936 --Original Message-- From: Jeffre E stein <jeevacation a mail.com> To: MD ; Eva Dubin Sent Mon, Feb 14, 2011 12:55 pm melt„ who funds breast cancer projects.. eva has a center at mt sinai The information contained in this communication is confidential, may be attorney-client privileged, may constitute inside information, and is intended only for the use of the addressee.
