Tips for Applicants

Given the small annual giving of $25,000 and specific translational oncology focus, applicants should demonstrate clear links between animal cancer research and potential human health applications, with emphasis on the comparative oncology approach that distinguishes this foundation from traditional medical research funders.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation supports translational oncology research that advances understanding of cancer treatments through comparative oncology approaches. It values donations that directly fund research into animal cancer with potential human applications and supports initiatives that further the mission of finding cancer cures through the study of pets.

Notable Grants

Funding support to the PetHERO project (Precision Medicine for Pet Cancer) at The University of Queensland (UQ)
