The Institute for Follicular Lymphoma Innovation is a highly focused biomedical research funder that directs almost all of its dollars to translational and clinical research aimed at finding a cure for follicular lymphoma. It funds a mix of specialized disease organizations, academic medical centers, and international research institutes, typically supporting named research programs or projects rather than general operating expenses. Grants are substantial and targeted, often made repeatedly to the same investigators or institutions to advance long‑term research agendas.
The Institute for Follicular Lymphoma Innovation concentrates its grantmaking on a single disease area: follicular lymphoma. Across recent awards, it backs translational and clinical research, specialized research nonprofits, and academic medical centers working toward improved treatments and a cure. The largest recent grant listed is $3,282,650 to the Lymphoma Research Foundation in New York for research towards finding a cure for follicular lymphoma, followed by $2,336,450 to Lysarc in Pierre-Benite for the same purpose. That disease-specific focus runs through the rest of the portfolio. The foundation has supported The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Inc in Rye Brook, New York, Washington University in St. Louis, and City of Hope in Duarte, California, all with grants framed around follicular lymphoma research. It also funds international research institutions, including The Francis Crick Institute in London and Inserm in Paris, showing a pattern that extends beyond one country while staying tightly centered on one hematologic cancer. Its recent grant history suggests a mix of large research awards and repeated support for collaborators already engaged in follicular lymphoma work. The grants are usually directed to named projects or programs rather than broad unrestricted support.
The clearest theme in the recent grants is disease-focused research infrastructure. The Institute for Follicular Lymphoma Innovation gave $1,211,957 to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Inc in Rye Brook, New York, and $223,667 to Cure (llsflfifli), also in Rye Brook, both for research towards finding a cure for follicular lymphoma. It also supports academic medical centers with established lymphoma programs. Washington University in St. Louis received $700,960 in 2025 for follicular lymphoma research, while UCLA in Los Angeles received $275,000 in 2025 for the same purpose. Internationally, the foundation funds biomedical research institutions outside the United States. The Francis Crick Institute Limited in London received $249,969 in 2025, and Inserm in Paris received $239,133 in 2025, each with the same follicular lymphoma research purpose. The recent record also includes LYSARC in Pierre Benite, which received $514,538 in 2023, showing continuity with specialized lymphoma research organizations.

Concentrated, large-dollar grants with repeat funding to a small set of specialized grantees; predominantly project- and research-directed awards rather than broad philanthropic diversification.
Notable grantees: Lymphoma Research Foundation, LYSARC, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Washington University
Typical grant size is tightly clustered: p25 is $264,325, median is $275,000, and p75 is $275,000. That pattern fits a funder that makes substantial, targeted awards rather than small exploratory gifts. The recent list also shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including Lysarc, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Inc, and Washington University. The foundation is classified as a regular funder and makes program-related investments, which aligns with its venture-philanthropy style funding to biotech companies and clinical development partnerships. One initiative, MRD Research Grants, accepts unsolicited proposals; the others listed do not.
Grant recipients are concentrated in the United States, which accounts for 13 grants, or 59.1% of the recipient country distribution. France follows with 6 grants, and the United Kingdom has 2. By city, New York and Rye Brook appear multiple times among U.S. recipients, while Pierre Benite, London, and Paris represent the non-U.S. side of the portfolio. The foundation’s giving is regional, but its recipient base extends across the U.S. and into Europe.
Its recent grants are consistently framed around follicular lymphoma research, with purposes such as finding a cure for follicular lymphoma, translational research, clinical research, biomarker work, and therapeutic development. The active program list also includes the Moonshot IDEA Award, MRD Research Grants, Biomarker Discovery Initiative, and Early Biology Initiative.
Typical grants cluster closely around a quarter-million dollars. The reported distribution is p25 $264,325, median $275,000, and p75 $275,000. Recent awards also include larger research grants in the millions, alongside structured program investments for biotech development.
Yes. The recent record shows repeat support to Lysarc, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Inc, and Washington University across 2023 and 2025. That suggests ongoing relationships with organizations already active in follicular lymphoma research.
Only some programs do. The MRD Research Grants initiative accepts unsolicited applications, while the Moonshot IDEA Award, New Treatment Development Initiative, and the biotech investment programs listed do not.
Recipient organizations are mostly in the United States, which accounts for 13 grants, or 59.1% of the country distribution. France has 6 grants and the United Kingdom has 2, showing a U.S.-and-Europe pattern in its recent grantmaking.
