• 100% of every project donation goes to the research project individual has decided to support
• Organization overhead is supported separately through individual donations, corporate sponsorships and foundation grants
• Each project specifies exactly what the money will be used to fund
• Individuals decide exactly which project to support, easily connecting with research that matters to them
• Researchers provide ongoing updates about the project, keeping communication open with their donor group
• Donors can share their stories and read the stories of others impacted by disease
