A non-profit organization providing funding for research for the early detection of ovarian cancer a The Amy Krouse Rosenthal Foundation is a non-profit organization providing funding for ovarian cancer early detection research as well as child literacy. Studies show that 60 percent of low-income households have no children’s books. We are committed getting books into the hands of children as they learn to read, so that they can explore their imaginations, connect with stories, and ultimately gain the skills they need to make their mark on the world. Because early detection increases a woman’s survival rate exponentially, the Foundation supports groundbreaking ovarian cancer research in this area. The Foundation’s grants provide young investigators the critical seed-funding necessary to conduct promising research that can be leveraged to attract future grants from larger entities.
