About Beyourpossible
Beyourpossible Inc centers its philanthropy on medical research tied to cancer and stem cell transplant work, with a visible commitment to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center through a $1,000,000 pledge and additional support in the recent grants list. The organization’s giving is closely connected to running-based fundraising and community participation, including its Run for Research and Run with Peter initiatives, where participant choices help direct support to medical research organizations. That structure makes the funder unusual among small-staffed charities: it combines a mission around research awareness with a recurring, event-linked grantmaking model. Recent grants show a broad mix of general support across research and health organizations, from major cancer institutions to groups focused on infectious disease, mental health, diabetes, and heart health. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center appears as the largest recent recipient at $111,363, while Hospital for Special Surgery received $61,366. The pattern suggests a foundation that uses flexible support to back established nonprofit medical institutions while keeping its core identity tied to cancer and transplant research. The leadership is associated with Peter Kirk, and the organization’s public-facing fundraising story is built around endurance events and participant engagement rather than a conventional open application model.
What Beyourpossible Funds
Cancer and stem cell transplant research are the clearest anchors in Beyourpossible Inc’s grantmaking. It gave $111,363 to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for general support, and its program materials also describe a $1,000,000 pledge for stem cell transplant and cancer research at the same institution. That mix of institutional support and directed pledges places oncology research at the center of the foundation’s identity. The foundation also funds broader medical research fields. It awarded $23,020 to International Society for Infectious Diseases Inc for general support and $21,003 to Mayo Clinic for general support, showing interest beyond cancer-specific work. Mental health appears in the recent grants too, with support for Anxiety & Depression Association of America and Hope for Depression. Additional grants to American Diabetes Association and American Heart Association indicate that Beyourpossible Inc uses its medical-research focus in a wider health-research frame.
