The Inspired Ventures™ program is the hallmark of Partnership for Cures.  Dedicated donors inspire Partnership for Cures staff to collaborate with innovative researchers to create research projects that will meet donor''s needs.

Partnership for Cures identifies these research proposals that are aligned with each philanthropic investor’s interests and leverages the donor investments through institutional matching requirements. Independent, highly qualified scientists validate and modify the projects to insure, as much as possible, that they have the potential to reach their intended outcomes. 

Donors help select which research project will receive Inspired Venture funding, choosing from a number of proposals that Partnership for Cures has had validated by independent scientists. A Research Roadmap™ is created for each venture, ensuring that achievable goals and reasonable budgets have been established and can be monitored. Donors receive periodic reports on research progress. 

PFC staff monitor, manage and provide quarterly reports to donors on each project.  Powerful, satisfying partnerships are formed among donors, scientists, and institutions, allowing new and exciting research projects to go forward quickly.

Some of our partnerships are Memorial Inspired Ventures honoring family members who have succumbed to a particular disease. Donating to fund a Memorial Inspired Venture that could accelerate research can be meaningful to family members and friends, bringing both solace and hope.
