About Aameer Sahi Foundation
The Aameer Sahi Foundation appears to prioritize funding medical research at hospital-based institutions, demonstrated by a single six-figure grant to support clinical trials at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The foundation gives in a focused, program-specific way aimed at advancing clinical research and patient-centered medical innovation rather than broad charitable distributions.

About Aameer Sahi Foundation
Aameer Sahi Foundation Inc directs a six-figure annual grant budget almost entirely into hospital-based cancer research, with a recent $100,000 award to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago for clinical trials. That grant matches the foundation’s broader emphasis on sarcoma and Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor (MPNST), including support for current trials, future research projects, and awareness efforts. The foundation also funds clinical research through partnerships tied to Northwestern Memorial Foundation, signaling a program-specific approach rather than broad charitable giving. Its work centers on rare-cancer treatment development at major medical centers. Alongside research funding, the foundation supports patient-facing assistance for adolescents and young adults in oncology treatment, showing an interest in both the science of care and the practical barriers patients face during treatment. The grant record points to concentrated, institution-focused funding rather than dispersed small awards.
What Aameer Sahi Foundation Funds
Sarcoma and MPNST are the clearest focus areas. The foundation backs research and clinical trials for malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor and related sarcomas, including support for current trials and future research projects. Patient support appears as a second theme. Through Northwestern Memorial Foundation’s AYA Oncology Patient and Family Assistance Fund, Aameer Sahi Foundation Inc helps cover parking, food, lodging, and other incidentals for patients ages 18–24 and their families during cancer treatment. The foundation also supports trial infrastructure at hospital-based institutions. Its grant to Northwestern Memorial Hospital was for clinical trials, and its program descriptions reference translational research, early-phase studies, and research partnerships as part of its funding model.
How Aameer Sahi Foundation Gives
The foundation’s grant size is fixed in the available record: p25, median, and p75 are all $100,000. That suggests a single-size grant pattern rather than a tiered portfolio. The latest grant file also shows a one-off, project-specific style: one named recipient appears in the recent grants list, and the active program descriptions describe funding for current trials, future research projects, and partnerships. It is not a fund for individuals and does not make program-related investments. One program description says it accepts unsolicited proposals, while another partnership-based fund does not.
