ConnectMyVariant's mission is to end hereditary cancer by bringing families together.

ConnectMyVariant is an educational health-focused nonprofit organization that supports individuals and families with hereditary cancer in their early detection and prevention efforts. We provide unique value by leveraging our evidenced-based family connection protocols to help people identify other at-risk relatives and help those relatives access genetic testing and tailored preventative medical care. ConnectMyVariant brings people with the same genetic risk together through our variant database and community engagement events to share experiences, find common ancestors, and help each other get the best medical care. ConnectMyVariant also works to increase awareness of the benefits of family outreach among physicians, others who provide prevention care, and the broader genealogy community.
 
Our key activities are:
    Working with patients to implement personalized family outreach plans
    Interactive educational workshops that train patients to talk to relatives about inherited cancer risk
    Variant specific family reunions to share prevention stories and plan outreach to cousins
    Genealogy assistance to help connect individuals in variant groups
    Individual equity and inclusion grants for family and community outreach

Need and Impact:
When hereditary cancer risk is known, family outreach has been proven to be the most effective and cost-effective intervention for early detection and prevention. It is recommended by multiple guidelines. Despite overwhelming evidence, family outreach assistance is not reimbursed by insurance or integrated into healthcare. Many people suffer and die from hereditary cancer that could have been prevented or caught early.
 
We have shown that our strategies to encourage family outreach can act as a communication multiplier. Our pilot research at the University of Washington showed that this approach enhanced patient experience, was considered ethical, and was appreciated by newly identified relatives. Our approach is low-cost and is 25 to 50 times more effective than cancer prevention education and outreach interventions that target the general population.

Equity and Inclusion:
ConnectMyVariant is committed to being a leader for equity, diversity, and inclusion in hereditary disease prevention. ConnectMyVariant’s goal is to spread awareness among all individuals and families about inherited disease risk. All project staff, participants, and partners in ConnectMyVariant have an equal voice in developing innovative ways to improve hereditary disease outreach and prevention for all people. By fostering a diverse and inclusive community, we can provide knowledge and opportunities that have been historically inaccessible to millions of people.

One of GiveWell's top charities for the past several years, AMF provides anti-malarial bednets to people in need. 

From Givewell: 
What do they do? AMF (againstmalaria.com) provides funding for long-lasting insecticide-treated net (LLIN) distributions (for protection against malaria) in developing countries. (More)

Does it work? There is strong evidence that distributing LLINs reduces child mortality and malaria cases. AMF conducts post-distribution surveys of completed distributions to determine whether LLINs have reached their intended destinations and how long they remain in good condition. AMF's post-distribution surveys have generally found positive results but have some methodological limitations. (More)

What do you get for your dollar? We estimate that the cost to purchase and distribute an AMF-funded net is $4.95, or $4.65 excluding in-kind contributions from governments. The numbers of deaths averted and other benefits of distributing LLINs are a function of a number of difficult-to-estimate factors, which we discuss in detail below. (More)

Is there room for more funding? We believe that AMF is likely to be constrained by funding. We estimate that AMF could use up to an additional $37.8 million to support LLIN distributions that will occur between now and late 2023. 

AMF is recommended because of its:

Focus on a program with excellent evidence of effectiveness and cost-effectiveness.
Processes for ensuring that nets reach their intended recipients and monitoring whether they remain in homes and in good condition over the long-term.
Room for more funding – we believe AMF will be able to use additional funds to deliver additional nets.
Transparency – AMF shares significant information about its work with us and we are able to closely follow and understand its work.

Effective Giving for Global Health

Abby's Joy is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit created to assist families battling DIPG and partner with organizations that do the same. 

At Abby's Joy, our primary focus is our families. DIPG is a devastating diagnosis that statistically has 0% survival rate, although there are some patients defying these numbers. Our organization was born out of the pain and tragedy of DIPG taking our youngest daughter, Abigail Lynn Bramlett (Forever 6), from us on June 25, 2019 after battling this beast for a year. Our pain has been turned into purpose assuring parents, family members, and friends have the right tools and support to walk this challenging road with just a bit of relief. That relief could come in the form of not having to worry about a bill being paid, or having to take off from work to be with your child because they are literally fighting to live. This relief could look like helping to make a dream come true or ease the burden of end of life expenses. We are also available for one on one conversations to talk out any and all of the "it's not fair, scary, this shouldn't be happening" thoughts that inevitably enter the minds of anyone associated with a DIPG diagnosis. We have very lofty goals for this foundation including our website that is an ever evolving entity with newest possible treatments from all over the world, comfort and support measures, step by step instructions/suggestions for different steps of this journey and a place to listen to those of us who have walked this road. We come to the aid of DIPG families selected by our Board of Directors in the form of monthly grants.  We are working on information packets to be distributed throughout hospitals for new DIPG families, One goal is to provide connection and distraction for both patients and families through advance communication technology (this is a work in progress). We are working on a YouTube channel that will hold inspirational content or just a place to hear "You're not alone".  All of our board members and staff are strictly volunteers. All of our family support comes from generous donors like you! We host multiple fundraisers throughout the year

DIPG is a path no one ever chooses. It is thrust upon us with sometimes little warning and very little time. While modern medicine searches for a cure or even a viable treatment, Abby's Joy is here to help navigate the "til then" moments.  

THANK YOU for taking time to hear us.

Dedicated to the understanding, treatment and ultimate cure of substance use disorder by funding cutting-edge research. 


Cure Addiction Now (CAN) is dedicated to the understanding, treatment and ultimate cure of drug addiction. Funding basic research and its clinical translation through a collaborative program is the core focus of the foundation. In addition to creating new therapies to help stop the deadly cycle of addiction, we hope to eliminate the negative stigma of this disease and ultimately find a cure for the brain’s addiction to drugs. 

Background:
Nancy Davis founded CAN in 2018 with her son Jason Davis who tragically passed away in 2020. Jason’s dream was to fund ground-breaking research to find therapies to help stop the vicious cycle of substance use disorder (SUD) and help people not only detox but stay in permanent recovery. CAN also has plans to fund educational campaigns to remove the negative stigma of SUD and change the narrative. Our mission is to cure addiction now. 

At the beginning of Covid 19, one person in the US would die every 11 minutes of an opioid overdose. That number has multiplied dramatically to one person every minute and a half and this does not include other drug overdoses. 70 percent of all deaths are now caused by Fentanyl. Yes, addiction is a real disease and needs to be treated. There is no other disease claiming so many lives. We need to take the stigma of shame away that addicts suffer and treat them with dignity, kindness and compassion the same way we treat everybody else suffering from any disease. We need to raise important funds for our brilliant doctors that represent Mount Sinai, Harvard, UCLA, Scripps, University of Washington and Johns Hopkins and start saving lives. Please Visit our website for more information and a detailed list of our esteemed Scientific Advisory Board and Collaborating Scientists. Below are the currently funded grants from this year. Thank you for your consideration and support!

2021 Grant Awardees: Research Progress Report as of 10/1/2021

Research Project #1: Developing a Strategy to Prevent Relapse to Opioid, Nicotine, 
Alcohol and Cocaine Use with a Single Use Medication
Courtney A. Miller, PhD, Scripps Research

Substance use disorder (SUD) is a chronic, relapsing disorder with a severe lack of treatment options. Associations that have formed during periods of drug use serve as powerful relapse factors by triggering motivation to seek the drug. Recently, we identified the molecular ATPase and driver of synaptic actin polymerization, nonmuscle myosin II (NMII), as a biological target for the selective disruption of these associations. A single treatment with the NMII inhibitor Blebbistatin (Blebb) produces an immediate, seemingly permanent loss of motivation for methamphetamine (METH) and amphetamine (e.g. Adderall) by targeting the associated memories. This occurs without the need for retrieval and without affecting other types of memories, including those associated with other drugs of abuse. In addition to its efficacy in animal relapse models following a single treatment, several properties made Blebb an excellent starting point for medication development. Paramount among these are the molecule’s high brain penetration (thus, lower doses can be used) and rapid clearance from the body and brain (limiting unwanted peripheral and central effects on the body). Unfortunately, Blebb’s activity at cardiac muscle myosin II (CMMII), a protein critical for heart function, was a liability. Through work funded by the NIH, including NIDA, we have developed a preclinical candidate compound, MT-110, that retains Blebb’s high brain penetrance and rapid clearance, but no longer inhibits CMMII. The result is a dramatically improved safety profile and a therapeutic index (ratio of the lowest dose that achieves the desired effect and the highest tolerable dose) of at least 25x. We have filed a non-provisional patent in the US and ten other countries, declared a preclinical candidate, and are now preparing to file an IND with FDA and designing our first in human Phase 1 trial. Recognizing that it would be powerful to utilize the Blebb-based NMII inhibitor to target motivation for other widely used drugs of abuse, particularly opioids, alcohol, nicotine and cocaine, we have begun working on a strategy. Blebb disrupts restabilization of these memories when animals are exposed to reminders associated with the drug of abuse. However, for individuals that use drugs, associations capable of motivating drug seeking can number in the hundreds and even be unconscious motivators. Therefore, it is not feasible for subjects to actively retrieve all “triggers” in a clinical setting for reconsolidation targeting. Interestingly, recent evidence in animal and human studies indicates a similar disruption can be achieved by pairing a reconsolidation disrupting intervention with a small amount of the drug of abuse itself. We now have promising preliminary preclinical data using this strategy that points to the potential for MT-110 in cocaine, nicotine and opioid use disorders. Additional studies to validate and extend these findings are underway. 

Research Project #2: 
Role of chemosensory processing in choroid plexus circuit in drug addiction
Paul J. Kenny, Ph.D. and Stephanie P.B. Caligiuri, M.D., Mount Sinai, New York

Sensitivity to the aversive properties of addictive drugs influences vulnerability to substance use disorders (SUDs). Indeed, aversive reactions to drugs of abuse upon their first usage decreases the likelihood that subsequent use will transition from occasional to habitual. Little is known about the mechanisms of drug aversion. Taste systems guide ingestive behaviors to ensure survival by detecting sweet, salty, & umami flavors, which represent carbohydrates, electrolytes, and protein respectively. Taste systems also detect sour and bitter tastes, which often reflects spoiled or poisonous substances. Intriguingly, most addictive drugs are bitter-tasting plant-derived alkaloids, a class of compounds known to activate taste-2 receptors (T2Rs). In addition to their abundant expression in the oral cavity, accumulating evidence suggest that T2Rs are also expressed outside the oral cavity. Individuals carrying genetic variation in genes that encode components of the T2Rs and related signaling machineries are at increased risk of developing SUDs. With the support of Cure Addiction Now (CAN), we are testing the hypothesis that oral and/or extra-oral T2Rs are activated by opioids and other classes of addictive drugs, and that this action contributes to their aversive properties that protect against SUDs. Using genome editing technologies and cellular assays of T2R function, we have collected compelling data suggesting that drugs of abuse stimulate T2R signaling. We have also shown that the same neurons in brain aversion centers that are activated by consumption of noxious bitter compounds such as quinine are also recruited by drugs of abuse. Moreover, we have shown that genetic manipulations that selectively perturb T2R signaling attenuated aversive responses to drugs of abuse and increases their consumption. Perhaps most surprisingly, we found that T2R-mediated aversive sensory information related to drugs of abuse is routed to the choroid plexus in the fourth ventricle, a secretory organ in the brain, and that manipulating genes in the choroid plexus regulates aversive behavioral responses to addictive drugs. These data reveal a novel chemosensory mechanism that regulates addiction-relevant behavioral responses to drugs of abuse that may serve as a substrate for the development of target therapeutics for SUDs. 

Research Project #3
The Kappa Opioid Receptor: A Therapeutic Target for Negative Affect in Pain and Addiction
Catherine Cahill, Ph.D. and Edythe London, Ph.D., UCLA

Anhedonia is the impaired capacity to experience pleasure from naturally rewarding objects and events.  It is defined as a state of ‘markedly diminished interest or pleasure in all, or almost all, activities most of the day, nearly every day’.  While it is relatively undertreated, it occurs in many neuropsychiatric disorders including substance use disorders and chronic pain. Considering the high comorbidity between negative affective states, such as depression and chronic pain, it is not surprising that anhedonia may be a driver of opioid addiction, where opioid misuse is a predictor of anhedonia. 

Kappa opioid receptor agonists produce dysphoria, depressive-like symptoms and psychotomimetic effects in humans, and they elicit aversion and depressive-like behaviors in preclinical models. A novel kappa receptor antagonist JNJ-67953964 produced anti-anhedonic effects in a recent, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial.  Given the involvement of this receptor in negative affective states and the positive preliminary clinical study in alleviating anhedonia, our studies focus on kappa receptors with the goal of facilitating the development of medications for Opioid Use Disorder.

Our first aim was to determine the association of kappa binding in limbic regions of brain with measures of negative affect in a model of chronic pain. To date, we have demonstrated kappa receptor binding in the striatum using microPET and 18F]LY2459989, a novel kappa radiotracer. Binding of this tracer was blocked by both a kappa-receptor selective antagonist the nonselective opioid antagonist naloxone.  We have also conducted longitudinal studies were animals were imaged over time to correlate changes in receptor binding with the development of negative affective states.  Analysis of these data are ongoing.

Studies in people who misuse heroin show that acute opioid withdrawal increases opioid craving and seeking behavior, and that the severity of withdrawal predicts the response to treatment.  We therefore have conducted microPET imaging in opioid-dependent rats during the acute phase of opioid withdrawal. Analysis of these studies are ongoing.

We give small mills everything they need to add vital nutrients into the food that millions of malnourished people eat the most.

Sanku combats hidden hunger and saves lives by giving small mills the tools needed to fortify maize flour, an East African staple. Our mission: Guarantee that every meal consumed by every mother & child contains vital nutrients, forever. 

Worldwide, 8,000 children die every day and 2 billion suffer from preventable illness because their diets lack basic vitamins and minerals. Fortification (adding life-saving micronutrients to processed foods) is the most cost-effective nutrition intervention, but it has failed to reach the 6.5 billion people in developing countries who rely on small, often rural, mills for most of their food.

Sanku developed a technology and business model to enable the small mills that feed the most malnourished people to conveniently and affordably fortify staple grains. Our technology adds precise levels of nutrients into flour during processing and our business model leverages economies of scale to offset any additional costs for millers and their customers, providing Sanku with revenue margins that increase as we scale. We are currently reaching 3 million East Africans with the basic human right of nutritious food and have a plan to reach 100 million this decade, which will prevent millions from death and disease, boost productivity, and save billions of dollars in GDP.  

A donation of ~$1 is enough to give one person access to nutritious food for an entire year, so even a small donation can go a long way in the fight against malnutrition.

Funding research with the highest probability of preventing, slowing, or reversing Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease was discovered over 110 years ago. Little was known about the disease and, since then, little more has been learned, until recently.

Frustrated with the slow pace of research about the disease, our founders applied their experience in venture capital and corporate startups to build an organization specifically designed to accelerate research, make bold bets, and eradicate the disease. They also insisted on four key principles to ensure success:

- Fund the world’s leading Alzheimer’s researchers
- Provide rapid review and approvals for submitted grants
- Insist on collaboration among funded scientists
- The board of directors pays for all overhead expenses so that 100% of donations go directly to research

Since our founding in 2004, our unwavering focus has been providing research grants to the worlds’ leading scientists researching Alzheimer’s disease. To date, Cure Alzheimer’s Fund has contributed more than $132,000,000 to Alzheimer’s research. Many of the projects we have funded resulted in significant breakthroughs, developing a deeper understanding of Alzheimer’s disease, and getting closer to a cure.

We use cash transfers to increase immunization rates in Nigeria.

Childhood vaccines prevent an estimated 2 to 3 million deaths every year. They are recognized as one of the most cost-effective child health interventions in low-income countries. Yet, an estimated 19.4 million infants around the world did not receive routine vaccinations in 2018. In Nigeria, 40% of under-five deaths are from vaccine-preventable diseases – low immunisation rates are a significant contributor to its high under-five mortality rate (120 deaths per 1,000 live births). North West Nigeria, where the program operates, is the region with the lowest vaccination coverage in Nigeria.

We reduce deaths from breast cancer by providing access to screening, diagnostics and treatment services for all women.

The Rose addresses any barrier that might keep a woman from caring for her own needs. Studies show women often put personal needs on hold while tending to the needs of others. Many women cite costs and lack of access as reasons they delay preventive services. Yet early detection mammography screenings are the most powerful weapons in the fight against breast cancer—which is 98% curable when detected early.

Every service offered by The Rose is available to the uninsured through one of many sponsorship programs. In fact, the whole purpose of the Empower Her® Sponsorship Program is to ensure any woman has access to breast cancer screening, diagnosis and care. From the initial screening mammogram through diagnostic procedures such as ultrasound and biopsies, as well as access to treatment—all are part of the quality breast health care offered at The Rose.

Because every woman deserves The Rose. Every woman deserves quality breast health care.

Pacific Communities Health District Foundation supports health care through Samaritan Pacific Health Services in Newport OR.

Founded by volunteers in 1983, the Pacific Communities Health District Foundation received its 501(c) (3) status in 1985. Our mission is to build healthier communities together by assisting the Pacific Communities Health District and the nonprofit Samaritan Pacific Health Services. We help them acquire equipment, services, and education to enhance the quality of medical care and health-related programs for the 30,000+ community members in our service area -- south, central and east Lincoln County. Samaritan Pacific Health Services operates community clinics in Waldport, Newport, Toledo and Depoe Bay. It also operates Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital, a 25-bed, non-profit, federally-designated Critical Access Hospital in Newport. The Pacific Communities Health District is a taxing authority with a five-member elected board tasked with ensuring we have health care in our communities. They own Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital and surrounding buildings. Samaritan Pacific Health Services doesn't turn anyone away for inability to pay or insurance type. 

Our current primary project is the creation of a substance use disorder residential and intensive outpatient recovery center. Oregon is second in the nation for substance use disorder yet 50th for treatment availability. Our local Regional Mental Health/Substance Use Disorder Coalition reported that 1,933 Lincoln County residents (4.5% of the adult population) were diagnosed with substance use disorder between 9/1/19 and 8/31/21, yet there are no residential treatment services in Lincoln County. In response, the Pacific Communities Health District purchased a former adult foster care facility in Newport to serve as a 16-bed substance use disorder residential and intensive outpatient facility for adults (18+). Patients will come from across Oregon with priority given to residents of Lincoln County. Programs will include group and individual therapy, medication-assisted treatment and peer-delivered services for people with substance use disorder, including opiates, alcohol, methamphetamines and others. Funds are being raised to equip and furnish the facility; build an 8000-sq-ft addition for a commercial kitchen, a medical exam room, meeting spaces and offices; and remodel the existing 4696 sq-ft NW Biggs facility. As part of its mission, Samaritan Pacific Health Services is committed to operating and maintaining the center in Newport.

Providing equitable access to orthodontic care to improve self-confidence, health, and resilience of underserved youth in Oregon

As the Oregon Health Plan doesn't cover orthodontic treatment for non-cleft palate youths in Oregon, there is a significant amount of youths with handicapping malocclusion who are not able to receive the medically necessary treatment. This means that any child who suffers from malocclusions that impair eating, sleeping, breathing, and speaking must raise an average of $6,000 (that is if there are no complications) to receive corrective orthodontic treatment. This  barrier has created a built-in exclusion of all OHP populations in Oregon, adding to not only medical needs, downstream exacerbated complication, lower graduation rate, and increased Emergency department use, but also enormous behavioral/mental challenges resulting from relentless bullying.

ASK receives referrals from DHS, school counselors, teachers, coaches, clinicians and anyone else who works professionally with children. Orthodontists screen for medical need and arrange for orthodontic treatment if applicant is accepted into the ASK program. We reserve funds for the most severe cases and monitor school grades throughout.

ASK requires participants to volunteer four hours per month in a community-based organization during the 18-to-24-month treatment (learning how to work and adding experience to a college or work resume). We also require that youths that apply to our program lift their grades to at least a "C" in all classes before we start treatment, and then maintain that minimum requirement during the treatment period. These requirements, along with the actual braces change the trajectory of the lives of students who otherwise are at risk for not graduating high school. As a consequence of their success in school, we help kids find a path forward with secondary education, apprenticeships, or simply finding a job. This leads to a higher lifetime income, better health, lower mortality and incarceration rates.

All treatments are carried out by ASK partner orthodontists who are board certified and licensed by the State of Oregon. ASK follows the scientific process and works with the OHSU Community Research team to quantify our impact on communities through peer reviewed studies. Although we cover all 36 counties in Oregon, ASK has just entered into a partnership with OHSU to treat youths in the Portland area as a means to educate more orthodontists in Oregon.  

ASK has existed since 2004 and use orthodontic screeners as a backup to review the initial consultation results. We do that to ensure that the outcomes are reviewed as objectively as possible. 

We use the following resources to indicate longitudinal studies related to the Social Determinants of Health outcomes for the youths in the ASK program:

ASK uses REAL-D data to Increase the number of kids form marginalized populations who will receive orthodontic treatment. and we also aim to expand ASK's reach in Oregon so more OHP youth have access to orthodontic treatment. 

Oregon youths who receive much needed orthodontic treatment because of handicapping malocclusions, use their local emergency department less. This is partly because they are now seeing a dentist and an orthodontist on a regular basis as is their whole family. 

Because of the ASK focus on high school graduation and volunteering outside their home, the ASK candidates are also more likely to become self-sufficient and less likely to need entitlement support. All this helps decrease healthcare cost and increase health outcomes.

A Smile for Kids employs a total of 4 employees. 1.5 full time employees focus entirely on managing the ASK program. This includes communicating with the referring professionals, family, resource caregivers, applicant, DHS, orthodontists, dentists, oral surgeons, (schools to monitor grades), and any other organization or person who is needed to help the youth through the ASK program. This also includes after hours incoming calls from any of the kids we currently have active, who need encouragement when things are "rough". 

Because we work with 43% resource (foster) youths, we also work closely with kids from trauma affected backgrounds which adds to the complexity of carrying out the program. Since we are a small team, we maximize the functions of several electronic databases and other software - all HIPAA compliant and following Personal Health Information standards when sharing records with medical professionals.

We aim to decrease healthcare disparities and empower underrepresented youth to pursue the field of medicine. 

During the COVID-19 outbreak, minorities were dying disproportionally due to healthcare inequities. Health Equity and Empowerment were created to make a difference during the pandemic, committed to delivering health education to underprivileged areas in the United States and worldwide. Additionally, with roughly 4% of black physicians in the medical field in America, our goal is to improve that ratio to reduce healthcare inequities. We plan to do this through mentorship, conferences, and scholarships to encourage minority children to pursue careers in medicine.

Access to healthcare is so much more than an open clinic door.  It is access to clean water, access to education, women’s rights and gender equity, food security, addressing domestic violence, access to functioning roads, transportation systems.  The health of a person is reliant on so many factors that are happening in a culture and in a community.  Your support is helping CHILA address the many issues that continue to affect health outcomes and access to healthcare in the Chisec community.  

COVID-19 response:

In March of 2020, CHILA just completed what would be, unknowingly,  the last annual dental and medical mission with Kindness in Action due to the pandemic.  2 weeks later, the COVID-19 pandemic was declared and the border was closed and just like that, our in-person clinics ceased operations for over a year.   Like all the countries in the world, COVID-19 hit the communities of poor and disenfranchised the hardest.  But the CHILA team of Chisec rised to the occasion.  The team immediately gathered all the reliable scientific information that was being presented and they were one of the first to organize educational videos on virus information and prevention, proper hand washing techniques, and self-care and mental health awareness during quarantine all in the Q’eqchi Maya language.  They organized seamstresses to mass produce masks for the community with proper distancing and mask wearing observed.  They put together and delivered PPE packs to the staff of the local Centro de Salud and delivered food parcels to those communities that were having hardships with food security.  Here is what your support is provided:

~Oxygen concentrator machines
~Oxygen delivery supplies such as masks, nasal cannulas, nebulizers
~Medications packs with Tylenol, steroids, cough medicine etc.
~Vaccination education and outreach with the local healthcare system
~PPE and disinfectant supplies


CHILA’s Mission:

~Provide high-quality primary care for the populations of rural Guatemala
~Strengthen and work with the existing community healthcare system
~Preserve Q'eqchi Maya traditions and incorporate traditional Maya herbal medicine as part of our treatment modality 
~Strengthen the activities of the local Women's Groups as partners in healthcare access
~Provide all healthcare in the native Q’eqchi Maya language
~Deliver excellence in healthcare no matter the ability to pay


Our History and Our Present:

CHILA was started by Brian Smith, MD in the town of Chisec, Guatemala.  Brian served as a member of the Peace Corps in the region and witnessed firsthand the lack of access to healthcare for the population in the area.  Once he returned to the United States, he changed his vocation from engineering to medicine.  He entered medical school and became a physician while concurrently traveling back and forth to Chisec to build and open a medical clinic.  CHILA has grown with the belief that no person should die or be denied healthcare because of where you were born.  After years of providing care to many people in the region, CHILA was recognized as a nonprofit organization in 2019.  

Currently, CHILA funds a small group of local medical professionals in Chisec who we pay to provide ongoing  and prescribed care for chronic and complex medical conditions.  Dr. Smith and a contingency of volunteer medical providers from the United States travels to Chisec several times a year to hold clinics in our Chisec location as well as a variety of villages in the region.  During these clinic days, we see cases of varying levels of complexity.  We are able to treat common ailments during these clinic days as well as establish longer term care plans for more complex and chronic issues.  We provide all these services with translators who can speak in the native Q’eqchi language.

We’ve come a long way since we opened our doors as the Los Angeles Free Clinic in the Summer of Love, 1967. From a single storefront on Fairfax Avenue, we are now the Saban Community Clinic, with four health centers and one satellite site providing comprehensive medical, behavioral health and dental care plus access to social services.

The Childhood Cancer Project in a nonprofit, 501(c)3 which funds rare, child and adolescent cancer research, established in 2017.


Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease for children in the U.S.
Survival rates can vary depending on the type of cancer.
About 420,000 childhood cancer survivors live in the U.S., with many more around the world.

Cancer is bad enough. But when it affects a child, it is particularly devastating. Because kids deserve a chance to experience life. To laugh and have fun. To be amazed and to dream. To grow up. 

Every year, there are over 250,000 new cases of cancer that affect children under the age of 20 worldwide, that's over 700 kids diagnosed with cancer every single day. Despite this, childhood cancer research is severely underfunded. 

Unfortunately, we can't count on federal funding to help kids with cancer. Not only has there been an alarming decrease in budgets, but less than 4% of the NCI's federal funding goes towards research for all childhood cancers, combined. 


The Childhood Cancer Project is committed to funding rare child, adolescent, and young adult cancer research and to the development of more effective and less toxic treatments for cancer’s youngest warriors. 

Please help us "Develop Cures" and "Deliver Hope."

Common Threads

The world's-first funding vehicle to collectively grow our resources to support the long-term flourishing of humanity. 


This Project focuses on how we can collectively grow our resources to support the long-term flourishing of humanity. It addresses a crucial gap: as a society, we spend much too little on safeguarding and benefiting future generations. In fact, we spend more money on ice cream each year than we do on preventing our own extinction. However, people in the future - who do not have a voice in their future survival or environment - matter. Lots of them may yet come into existence and we have the ability to positively affect their lives now, if only by making sure we avoid major catastrophes that could destroy our common future.

Housed within the Project is the Patient Philanthropy Fund, a philanthropic co-funding vehicle which invests to give and ensures capital is at the ready when extraordinary opportunities to safeguard and improve the long-term future arise.

The Fund’s patient approach means that we aim to identify the point in time when the highest-impact opportunities are available, which may be years, decades, or even centuries ahead.

Here’s how it works:  

- Donors contribute to the Fund to create a shared pool of capital
- Capital is invested for long-term gains, initially in a low-fee Global Stock Index Fund
- While the fund grows, more research is conducted into future-focused funding opportunities and optimal timing of giving
- When an extraordinary time, need or opportunity arises, the Fund steps in 

This is very much a long-term project that will be nurtured and developed as the Fund grows. We have several milestones in place, including an investment strategy update when the Fund hits $10m. And when the Fund reaches $100m, or after 10 years (with a minimum $10m AUM), it will spin out and become an independent entity.

Get involved

We’ve already secured $1m in seed funding from our generous Founding Partners and Supporters, including Jaan Tallinn (Co-founder of Skype), Ignaz Forstmeier (Co-founder of Personio), Austin Che (Founder of Ginkgo Bioworks), and Andrew White (Founder of FundApps), among others. 

The Fund is managed by a committee of experts, all with a strong network and expertise on how well-timed grantmaking can safeguard the future:

- Philip Trammell (Research Associate at Oxford’s Global Priorities Institute)
- Luke Ding (Board Member at Founders Pledge and advisor to the Effective Altruism Infrastructure Fund)
- Sjir Hoeijmakers (Senior Researcher at Founders Pledge)
- Max Daniel (Chief of Staff at the Forethought Foundation for Global Priorities Research and Chair of the Effective Altruism Infrastructure Fund)

Every child deserves access to education. It is a basic human right. Yet in Sub-Saharan Africa, over one fifth of primary school aged children are not in school. That’s just not right. 

So They Can is an international NGO on a mission to change this. They work with vulnerable communities and their governments in Kenya and Tanzania to educate and empower children, so they can break the poverty cycle, realise their own potential and meet their own needs. 

Over a 7-10 year development cycle, So They Can works closely with a community to understand their needs and implement projects that will best support them. Throughout the cycle, they develop relationships and ensure transfer of knowledge and management skills to these communities to ensure sustainability of the programs. This enables them to eventually shift to a governance role so we can expand our focus and core resources to help other vulnerable communities.

Since being founded in 2008, the DFAT accredited NGO has partnered with 42 schools and helped deliver quality education to over 24,000 students.

Dedicated to deepening health literacy and building health equity through the transformative power of music, art, and science.

Hip Hop Public Health (HHPH) is an internationally recognized 501c3 that harnesses the transformative power of music, culture, and science to improve health literacy and promote health equity in communities of color. We have a 15-year track record of creating culturally relevant science-based content using our evidence-based framework for health promotion and behavior change, the Multisensory Multilevel Health Education Model (MMHEM), and our framework for Child-Mediated Health Communication that focuses on children as messengers for disease prevention and health promotion interventions with parents and caregivers. All of our 200+ educational resources are available to stream and download for free, removing access barriers for teaching, learning and health literacy.

Founded by Dr. Olajide Williams of Columbia University, a world-renowned leader in community based behavioral intervention research, the HHPH transdisciplinary team is a unique collective blending socially conscious creatives along with health and education professionals, nutritionists, public health researchers, physicians, behavioral scientists, and a rotating youth advisory board. HHPH’s founding artist, the legendary Doug E. Fresh, has cultivated an iconic artist advisory board including Darryl DMC McDaniels from Run DMC, Chuck D, Jordin Sparks and Ashanti in addition to multi-platinum music composers and producers.

HHPH’s approach maximizes engagement by facilitating cultural and emotional connections with the content using a variety of platforms and technologies, while earning trust through the use and social capital of credible messengers. Hip hop music is a particularly effective learning tool due to its ability to incorporate multiple literary devices, such as rhymes and spaced repetition which are known to enhance learning and memory. It is also a cultural tool that enables tailoring to certain communities while incorporating credible messengers (hip hop icons, celebrities, etc.) in its delivery. As the most popular genre in the US, hip hop has mass appeal.
