Fuel bold ideas and accelerate more breakthroughs

When traditional funding mechanisms for cancer research are disrupted, philanthropy can bridge the gap. As part of the MSK Giving community, you ensure that progress continues moving forward at MSK.  

MSK is leading the world in cancer care, research, and education

Home to one of the world’s most robust, cancer research enterprises, MSK spans the full spectrum of discovery — from pioneering laboratory science to the development of transformative therapies and training the next generation of cancer leaders. 

  • In just the past two years, more than 15 cancer drugs or drug combinations have received FDA approval thanks to pivotal research led by MSK scientists. 
  • MSK is running nearly 1,000 clinical trials at any time. In 2025 alone, over 5,000 people participated in clinical trials at MSK. 
  • More than 4,000 clinical and research trainees participated in programs at MSK in 2025.

Your partnership ensures that progress is not disrupted

Recent changes to federal funding for science have made it significantly more challenging for researchers to secure the resources they need, jeopardizing not only promising new research, but investigations that are already underway. 

  • In the past, 1 in 5 proposals submitted by researchers across the country to the National Institutes of Health would be funded. Now, that number may be as low as 1 in 33, depending on the institute or agency.  
  • The MSK Bridge Fund can help fill this gap, giving MSK investigators the resources they need to pursue bold ideas with transformative potential.
