All Ways to Give

Donations allow MSK to continue making breakthroughs in cancer research, care, and education. Take a look at all the ways you can make an impact.

Show your love for people and causes

For many, donating is personal. Whatever your motivation, we have many ways to help you make an impact. 

Contribute in honor or memory

You can make several types of contributions in a loved one’s honor or memory. It’s a meaningful way to pay tribute to someone special as well as to donate to cancer research, providing more hope and optimism for the next generation.

Give by cancer type
You can designate your donation for a certain type of cancer to accelerate research that can lead to new treatment options and cures.

Maximize your giving

There’s power in numbers. Many life events give you the opportunity to engage your friends and family. Your employer can also help increase your contribution. 

Matching gifts

One of the easiest ways to double your gift is to take advantage of company-matched gifts. See if your employer participates — and if it’s a yes, all you have to do is submit a form. We’ll work with your company to make sure the transfer takes place.

Celebrating something special? Think about asking for contributions to MSK rather than gifts.

Create a legacy of generosity

Legacy giving, also known as planned giving, allows donors to plan gifts years before they’re shared. If you’re helping a client, take a look at our guide on giving for professional advisors. 

Estate planning

Make an impact that lasts beyond your years by including MSK in your plans. Bequest gifts are made through your will or living trust, giving you the opportunity to leave a legacy you can be proud of.
