Ways to give

The SIR Foundation is excited to announce the launch of the SIR Foundation Endowment. The endowment is designed to address the current challenges in research funding, including inconsistent financial support and the potential gaps in critical areas of research. The SIR Foundation is uniquely positioned to tackle this challenge due to its extensive network of researchers and donors. The endowment aligns seamlessly with the SIR Foundation’s strategic mission, which focuses on advancing IR through reliable and sustained research funding.

This SIR Foundation Endowment was launched with a generous first gift from Barry T. Katzen, MD, FSIR, and his wife Judith S. Katzen, whose dedication to IR research and innovation sets the tone for the future. Gifts to the endowment will have a direct impact on the sustainability of critical research initiatives, providing the primary funding source for groundbreaking studies that push the boundaries of IR. SIR members can play a vital role in this new endeavor by making a minimum contribution of $100,000 or more.
