Judy and George Goldman founded Goldman Philanthropic Partnerships, a private operating foundation, in 1998 to establish a new philanthropic model to accelerate the way cures are discovered. Their foundation created innovative research funding partnerships between donors, researchers and medical institutions.
In 2001 Goldman Philanthropic Partnerships funded the first Mayo Clinic Symposium on Blood Cancers that brought talented young researchers in contact with seasoned researchers. In 2002, Goldman Philanthropic Partnerships funded a project they hoped would create a new standard treatment for the blood cancer multiple myeloma. In 2004 that project reached its goal and the FDA approved the treatment last year.
In early 2006, Partnership for Cures, a public charity, was approved by the IRS to carry on the mission of that George and Judy started. Later 2006, funding provided to Partnership for Cures by George and Judy through Goldman Philanthropic Partnerships created a new treatment for the children’s blood disorder ALPS (autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome.)
