Donate to the PGC Research Fund
PGC established the PGC Research Fund in 2006 The fund has been used to award grants in 2007 and 2009 to three proposals designed to help kids with galactosemia. Additional grants will be awarded in 2010 and beyond. The PGC research fund is separate from the PGC general fund and is designated specifically for the purpose of funding research into galactosemia. Donations marked for this fund will be deposited into a separate bank account and not be used to fund the general operations of the organization.
The PGC Research committee was established in 2007 to develop a plan for implementing a research program and oversee the selection of awardees and use of these funds. By funding the research, PGC will be able to influence the things that are studied so as to ensure that the focus is on arriving at useful results for our kids.
The PGC research fund has been very successful since its inception. As of July 2010, more than $300,000 has been donated. In order to ensure that both PGC and the PGC Research Fund are both financially supported, it is suggested that 20% of all large research fund donations be directed to the PGC general fund to keep the PGC organization strong and to support the families impacted by galactosemia.
Visit the PGC Research Web Page for more information on the projects that have been funded because of the generous support of all who gave to the PGC Research Fund. Thank you very much for your generosity.
