Improving the lives of SWFL families battling cancer by providing direct financial support, as well as making monthly contributions toward scientific research.
Ambers Antibodies Inc makes direct support to people facing cancer a central part of its work, while also sending monthly contributions to scientific research. The foundation’s recent grants show two recurring channels: individual awards in Southwest Florida and research funding for cancer studies and clinical trials. Among the larger research grants, the American Cancer Society received $20,250 in 2025 and $20,000 in 2023, reflecting a sustained commitment to cancer research organizations. On the individual side, the foundation has made repeated grants to named recipients such as Derek Newbury, who appears in the recent grants list in both 2023 and 2025, and Maria Garcia, who received a $5,000 grant in 2025. The grant record also includes awards tied to specific individuals and families, indicating a recipient-directed approach rather than broad institutional funding alone. Its public summary describes a purpose centered on improving the lives of Southwest Florida families battling cancer through direct financial support and research contributions. The pattern across the grant list is consistent with that mission: small grants to people, larger grants to research organizations, and repeated awards over multiple years.
Cancer patient assistance is a clear part of the foundation’s work. Recent recipient-directed grants include $5,000 to Maria Garcia in Cape Coral and $3,500 to Lorna Jean in Lehigh Acres, both in Florida. The list also shows family-linked awards such as Fatima Maria Alcoser Grant Recipient and Sanikristina Winters Grant Recipient, each at $5,000. Research funding is another main channel. The American Cancer Society received $20,250 in 2025 and $20,000 in 2023 for research grants. The active program Finding a Cure says a portion of Ambers Antibodies resources is allocated to cancer research organizations and clinical trials. The foundation also makes local community grants through individual support. Examples in the recent grants table include $4,000 to David Cashman in Cape Coral and $3,000 to Smyrne Jean Louis in Immokalee.
Typical grants are small: the 25th percentile is $1,000, the median is $1,250, and the 75th percentile is $1,500. That profile fits a model built around modest awards rather than a few large distributions. The recent list also shows repeated recipients across years, including Derek Newbury and Nathan Charles, which points to recurring grantmaking rather than one-time support only. Ambers Antibodies Inc funds individuals directly and also makes project-based research grants. The active research program, Finding a Cure, does not accept unsolicited applications.
