A Broward-based breast cancer charity devoted to research, support, and awareness. Founded in South Florida in 2010 by local women affected by breast cancer, the organization donates 100% of proceeds to breast cancer research-based organizations and ancillary services for breast cancer patients and survivors.
Not My Daughter Inc directs 100% of annual proceeds to breast cancer research organizations and ancillary services for patients and survivors in South Florida. That pattern shows up in its largest recent awards: $118,000 to Univerity of Miami Advancement - Cancer Research in Coral Gables and $25,000 to Baptist South Florida Inc, also in Coral Gables. The foundation’s grantmaking is tied to a local, community-driven model rather than broad national distribution, with support aimed at research-based organizations and patient services centers serving people affected by breast cancer. The organization was founded in 2010 by local women affected by breast cancer, and its stated work centers on research, support, awareness, and education. It gives through general grantmaking for breast cancer research and patient support, including ancillary services that help cover treatment-related needs. In that context, Not My Daughter Inc functions as a South Florida funder focused on direct support to organizations working with breast cancer patients, survivors, and the surrounding community.
In breast cancer research, Not My Daughter Inc backed Univerity of Miami Advancement - Cancer Research with $118,000 for research. That grant is consistent with the foundation’s stated emphasis on research-based organizations. Patient support is the other clear pillar. The foundation gave $25,000 to Baptist South Florida Inc for research, while its program descriptions also point to ancillary services for patients and survivors, including support delivered through partner organizations and patient support centers in Broward County and the wider South Florida area. Its broader focus also includes awareness and education, along with community development. The taxonomy and program language link those efforts to local community health and to breast cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and family members.
Typical grants cluster in a relatively wide range, with a p25 of $48,250, a median of $71,500, and a p75 of $94,750. The 2024 grants listed here are both in Florida, which matches the foundation’s local geographic scope and 100% share of grants to recipients in the HQ state. The structure is straightforward programmatic grantmaking: it does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The grant descriptions and active programs point to recurring support for research and patient services rather than one-off restricted initiatives, but only the provided grants can be verified here.
