$25,000 challenge grant from Dean Witter Foundation

NWABR has received a $25,000 challenge grant from the Dean Witter Foundation.  If you give to NWABR now your donation will be matched by the Witter grant essentially doubling (and if your employer matches donations, quadrupling) your impact.  

So far we have raised $16,000 towards this challenge with $9,000 to go.  These monies will be used to support students from diverse backgrounds participating in NWABR's high school programs.  We have reached the $16,000 with just 30 donations starting at $25.  Please consider pitching in now to support this challenge and help NWABR secure this additional $25,000 for its work to make biomedical science more accessible to students.
