Every dollar you donate to the Melanoma Research Alliance goes directly to funding groundbreaking melanoma research—none is used for overhead, administrative, or fundraising costs. This is made possible by the generous support of MRA’s founders, Debra and Leon Black, who underwrite 100% of our operational expenses.
We’re proud to be recognized with Charity Navigator’s highest 4-star rating and to hold the Platinum Seal of Transparency from Guidestar.
MRA has proudly invested more than $200 million through over 500 grant awards. We support the world’s best, most promising science and research. In fact, MRA-funded investigators have been behind every major breakthrough in melanoma research since our founding. That’s 17 new FDA-approved treatments that have transformed what it means to be diagnosed, treated for, and live with melanoma. Patients are living longer and fuller lives than ever before.
