- We're not just funding cancer research.
We're building the pipeline of people who will define it.
Why Tower
Science advances when someone is willing to invest in an idea – even if it’s written on the back of a napkin.
Most cancer breakthroughs begin as unconventional hypotheses that struggle to attract serious funding. Tower funds those ideas first – before the proof, and before anyone else will.
To date, $12.1 million invested has contributed to 15 FDA approvals, proving that high-risk, early-stage funding is where consequential science happens. Every gift helps move discoveries forward that might otherwise never see the light of day.
