How to Donate to or Support MACC Fund (maccfund.org)

MACC Fund — Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer, Inc. — accepts donations through its website to fund childhood cancer and related blood disorder research. The homepage provides "Donate Now" and "Donate Today" entry points, and you can also support the organization as a community partner through its "50 in 50" program, which recognizes partners investing $50,000 or more in a year. For exact payment methods, amounts, and any current campaign details, follow the instructions on the site itself, since those specifics can change.

What Your Donation Supports

MACC Fund describes its mission as fighting childhood cancer and related blood disorders by providing critical funding for research into cures and treatments. The organization frames this as turning "today's discoveries into tomorrow's cures."

The site includes testimonials from researchers describing how this funding functions in practice:

• Dr. David Margolis describes MACC Fund as "the cornerstone" of the research, saying it has enabled his team to treat patients, create investigator initiatives, develop novel treatments, and invest in human capital.
• Bryon D. Johnson, PhD, says MACC Fund funding lets his staff "move forward at a much faster rate than others" because they don't have to "jump through hoops," allowing preliminary data to become major grants and cancer treatment protocols.

If you want to know whether a specific research area or institution is funded, check the site's own materials rather than assuming.

Ways to Give

One-time or general donation

The most direct route is the "Donate Now" or "Donate Today" button on the homepage. Select it, then complete the donation flow as presented. The site does not specify accepted payment methods in the available material, so confirm what's offered at checkout.

50 in 50 community partnership

MACC Fund's "50 in 50" program recognizes and celebrates community partners who invest $50,000 or more in a year, marking the organization's 50 years of work. The site directs interested parties to a "Click here to learn more" link for details. This is the path to consider if you represent a business, foundation, or group rather than giving as an individual.

Stay connected and spread the word

Beyond money, the site asks supporters to help in other ways:

• Sign up for The MACC Monthly, the official email newsletter published monthly, covering research advances, events, and programs.
• Use #maccfund on social media to join the conversation and help spread awareness.

Before You Give

• Confirm the current donation page and any active campaign, since the site highlights a 50-year milestone and related appeals that may change over time.
• If you're giving on behalf of an organization, review the 50 in 50 terms first to see whether your contribution qualifies for recognition.
• Treat the site's live instructions as authoritative for amounts, payment options, and tax or receipt information — the available material doesn't cover those details.
