How Donations are Used
The Vittitoe Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund is committed to responsible stewardship and financial transparency. Our highest priority is advancing pancreatic cancer research and maximizing the impact of every dollar entrusted to us.
Donations support three core areas:
Funding pancreatic cancer research, including the work of Dr. Arsen Osipov and his team at Cedars-Sinai Cancer
Mission-driven fundraising and outreach efforts
Essential administrative and operational expenses
VPCRF is currently a 100% volunteer-led organization. No board members or family members receive compensation for their service. Like most charitable organizations, a portion of each donation supports the infrastructure required to operate sustainably and steward contributions with integrity.
Additional Ways to Donate
Support our mission through your Donor-Advised Fund
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are a simple and tax-efficient way to make a meaningful impact. If you have a DAF, you can recommend a grant to support our work and help us continue serving our community. You can recommend a grant through your fund provider, such as Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or Vanguard Charitable.
