    About Leukemia & Lymphoma Societyinc

    The Leukemia & Lymphoma Societyinc directs most of its recent giving to research institutions working on blood cancers, with repeated large awards to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston and to Joan & Sanford I Weill Medical College of Cornell University in New York. Its stated purpose is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families, and its active programs show that this mission reaches both laboratory science and patient support. Alongside research grants, the organization runs assistance programs for treatment-related costs, travel, medical debt, urgent needs, and scholarships for blood cancer survivors. The grant record also includes therapy acceleration support, indicating an interest in moving candidate treatments closer to patients. Recent awards span major cancer centers, medical schools, and research institutes across the United States, including the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Sloan Kettering Institute for Cancer Research, Stanford, Washington University in St. Louis, and University of Florida. The pattern is one of large, project-specific grants to established biomedical and clinical research recipients, paired with direct financial aid programs for people affected by blood cancer.

    What Leukemia & Lymphoma Societyinc Funds

    In cancer research, the foundation has backed Dana-Farber Cancer Institute twice in the latest grant list, including a 2025 research grant and a 2024 research grant, both above $4 million. It also funded The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center with separate research grants in 2024 and 2025. For translational work, Dren Bio received a 2025 therapy acceleration award, showing support for moving candidate therapies forward. The organization also funds clinical research institutions such as Sloan Kettering Institute for Cancer Research and Washington University in St. Louis through research grants. Beyond research, its active programs include co-pay assistance, patient aid, patient travel assistance, and urgent need support for eligible blood cancer patients in the United States.

    How Leukemia & Lymphoma Societyinc Gives

    Typical grants sit in the high six-figure to seven-figure range: the p25 is $125,000, the median is $303,000, and the p75 is $834,999. The recent list shows many awards well above that median, reflecting a mix of mid-sized and major project grants. Recipients also reappear across years and often receive multiple awards, such as research institutions in Boston, New York, Houston, and Gainesville. The organization is a regular funder, makes program-related investments, and does not fund individuals directly. Several active patient-assistance programs accept unsolicited applications.
