One Million. One Mission.

Help Us Reach $1 Million in Grants Funded for Pediatric Cancer Research.

For the past 10 years, Kate Amato Foundation has been dedicated to finding safer and more effective treatments for children with cancer by funding innovative pediatric cancer research. Through your generosity, as of last December, KAF had awarded $775,000 in grants to cutting-edge pediatric cancer research projects at some of the leading Immunotherapy and Cancer Genomics labs in the country, including: Duke University, Dana Farber Cancer Institute at Harvard Medical School, UCLA, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, just to name a few. This research brings us closer to accelerating progress and saving young lives.

Now, we are on the brink of a remarkable milestone for our small foundation advocating for children everywhere. Our annual grant announcement day is on December 10, 2025, and our goal is to hit the $1 Million mark for total grants funded by KAF. And we are so close to doing just that. We are just $75,000 short of our goal of $1 million invested in lifesaving pediatric cancer research.

Why This Matters

Every dollar raised pushes forward the innovative science that gives children a fighting chance. But the truth is, childhood cancer research remains critically underfunded — and kids deserve better. Your donation today helps bridge that gap.
