The Michaels Foundation

The Michael s Foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for Non-Hodgkin s Lymphoma through an aggressively funded research agenda and ensuring the development of improved therapies for those living with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma today. We won’t stop until a cure is found. We take pride in all our accomplishments so far. But ultimately we have only one definition of success: Scientific solutions that produce tangible improvements in patients’ lives. We are risk-takers and problem-solvers. From inception, TMF has invested in high-risk, high-reward research targets; an approach that in 1 short year has transformed the broader approach in the NHL research field. Our model is different. It is accepted practice among private disease research funders that the most important decisions — how to allocate donor-raised dollars — are made by external scientific advisors and boards. We bucked this model from day one in favor of building an in-house team of formally trained PhDs and business-trained project managers.
