Types of Donations
Each day, physicians and researchers at the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute help patients and their families fight cancer. Your financial gift to the Karmanos Cancer Institute is a meaningful way to give hope to cancer patients, today and fund state-of-the-science cancer research that can help future generations.
Area of Greatest Need
Your general donation is an unrestricted financial contribution which allows Karmanos to designate your financial gift to the areas in most need of financial support within Karmanos Cancer Institute. To restrict your gift to a specific program or research area such as breast, lung, BMT, etc. please note this in the "Special Instructions" box under Donation Information when making your online gift.
Donation in Tribute
A gift in honor or memory of someone is a thoughtful way to pay tribute to individuals who touch our lives. “Tribute Gifts” provide unrestricted resources for the Institute's most pressing needs or you may direct your gift to support a single program area or research project. Tribute gifts can be made to celebrate a special occasion, say thank you, express concern for someone close to you or are a thoughtful way to remember those who have passed away. We send a Tribute Gift card to persons you designate notifying them of your gift.
Cancer Research Fund
Karmanos physicians and scientists, in partnership with Wayne State University School of Medicine, dedicate themselves to researching the cancer breakthroughs of tomorrow. Please consider making a gift today to help accelerate treatments from the laboratory to the patient’s bedside — defining new standards of care and improving survivorship.

Donations, of all sizes, are the reason that Karmanos Cancer Institute can lead the way in providing the latest diagnostic and treatment strategies and conducting state-of-science research in Michigan and beyond.
