What sarcoma-specific charities give all of their proceeds to research?
If you have a favorite charity in mind, ask to see their annual report! Or send an e-mail asking the types of things that they fund. There are several small, local sarcoma charities that fund sarcoma research in specific hospitals. This allows you to support the hospital that you like, but it may not mean that the funds go to the most promising research in the country (or the world). This is why I personally support the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative – because they only fund the best peer-reviewed research grants that they receive, from all over the United States. They also work with charities around the world to help with sarcoma research in other countries. How is the research money used? Some charities give money to one researcher or hospital. The monies can then be used however that researcher sees fit. Unless specified, the monies can be used for overhead expenses of the institution. Few charities choose to require that research monies be used on peer-reviewed grants. Peer revie
