"I am asked to contribute to many worthwhile causes, but with the MPN Research Foundation I feel confident that my money is not being lost inside a giant organization and instead will be applied to targeted research and education that will improve the quality of my daughter’s life and the lives of others." - JoAnn Mason, Mother of PV patient and board member for MPN Research Foundation

Where Does My Donation Go?

The MPN Research Foundation was founded for patients, by patients. Our goal is to fund innovative research that will bring people who suffer from polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia and myelofibrosis better treatment options. In the short term, we strive to empower the MPN patient community through symposia, our free newsletter, free informational brochures and dissemination of news relevant to people with MPNs.

We maximize the term on every grant and operate the Foundation with the barest minimum of staff so that we can spend the most money possible on MPN research, education and advocacy. We take accountabilty seriously, and make our financial reports available to the public so they can see exactly how we spend the funds we raise.
