Be a Key Catalyst for Cancer Research
One of the newest, and most impactful opportunities to accelerate cancer research is by funding a project in our Catalyst Program. A Catalyst project is a bold, high-impact cancer research project aimed at discovering novel pathways to a cure and rapidly advance safer and more effective therapeutics.But it takes a special group of dedicated donors to help fund a Catalyst project, which requires $100,000 in funding. In fact, it will take 100 influential donors like you, who are each willing to give $1,000 or more. And, the more people who give, the more transformational projects we can fund.

Help Fund a Catalyst Grant
Supporting the Catalyst Program with a gift of $1,000 makes you part of The Princess Margaret’s Inner Circle, a community committed to increasing its impact on innovative cancer research and exceptional patient care.Together through the Catalyst Program, we’ll continue to investigate and uncover knowledge gaps to help inform the development of therapies.
Your gift today will go directly towards supporting an innovative project funded by the Catalyst Program, to be awarded in November 2024.
You have the power to help turn bold, promising plans on paper into real-life research to give hope, and ultimately, new and better solutions for people living with cancer.
Thank you for helping to bring us this far.
A Catalyst Program is Transformative
By supporting our Catalyst Program, you’re moving bold, innovative, and high-impact cancer research projects forward faster. It’s the most exciting time in our cancer research program because we’re making tremendous progress in understanding cancer and translating these findings to the clinic. We need to keep accelerating the pace of research discoveries because, quite simply, people’s lives — and their quality of life — depend on it.
Discover the Important Work of Past Catalyst Grant Recipients
-
Dr. Federico Gaiti
Dr. Gaiti’s project aims to bridge important knowledge gaps in understanding Glioblastoma (GBM), the most aggressive and lethal form of brain tumour. There is an urgent need for novel treatments because of the current lack of efficient therapies.
-
Dr. Anastasia Tikhonova
The aim of Dr. Tikhonova’s ambitious project is to understand how leukemia cells become resistant to current therapies. The long-term goal is to develop strategies to overcome therapy resistance to improve leukemia patient outcomes.
