DEDICATED TO ENDING BREAST CANCER
Driving Results Through:
Philanthropic Activist Philosophy, Collective Impact Initiatives and Corporate Social Responsibility Programs
The Milburn Foundation is a private charitable corporation that supports progressive research into Inflammatory Breast Cancer, Triple Negative Breast Cancer and more.
Philanthropic Activism means doing more than funding other organization's existing initiatives. Activist Philanthropy is about engaging in a cause and taking a stand for the definition of a clearly articulated path forward with measurable milestones and adequate funding.
We help structure "Collective Impact Teams", dedicated to looking at old problems in new ways and coming up with an actionable, broad based plan for progress. We assist in funding the work these teams produce by working with other charities and companies to structure innovative, award winning fund raising campaigns. These campaigns are also synchronized with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs, giving the CSR programs enhanced meaning and local impact. Below is a high level sample of just some of the work we do.

Collective Impact
Every organization has different strengths. When all parties purposefully work to coordinate and integrate these strengths, the outcome can be truly incredible.

“The Milburn Foundation has supported grants that advance research for aggressive forms of breast cancer such as Triple Negative and Inflammatory Breast Cancer, and is blazing trails with matching gift campaigns. We are fortunate to work with a team that works with us to help find cures and treatments for women facing breast cancer."

"The Milburn Foundation really helped us build momentum that wouldn’t have existed otherwise. Thanks to one of the Milburn Foundation's initial grants we started research that was so exciting it motivated our team to recruit even more funding to support the work.”
