Advancing Cures through CITI
The partnership of philanthropic investors is essential to realizing the profound promise of the Department of Cancer Immunotherapeutics & Tumor Immunology (CITI). Capital costs of the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center for Cancer Immunotherapeutics & Tumor Immunology exceed $60 million, and program and technology needs require an additional $40 million investment.

The CITI Department's innovative scientists and renowned clinical researchers are devoted to someday offering people a future free of cancer and the side effects of its treatments. With your partnership you can help us work to realize that future. 

Endowed Faculty Positions
One of the most enduring ways to advance research, an endowment is an invested fund with the earnings used to support CITI’s mission. Because the principal is not spent, the endowment lasts forever — associating you with City of Hope in perpetuity. In recognition of your generosity, your name will be associated with the endowed chair holder and all future discoveries that arise from the research you help make possible.
 
Endowed Chair – Minimum $2.5 million
By establishing an endowed chair, you become a partner in advancing care and cures for cancer. Your endowed chair brings honor to the institution and to the person or persons for whom it is named, creates a prestigious and enduring position at City of Hope, and provides essential resources now and into the future.  
 
Endowed Professorship – Minimum $1 million
An endowed professorship is established to honor an outstanding current faculty member or to attract a new scholar of distinction by offering prestige as well as additional funding for research. These supplemental funds are most frequently used to enhance a professor’s particular area of research in ways that would not otherwise be possible. 
 
Endowed Postdoctoral Fellowship – Minimum $750,000
A postdoctoral fellow is a promising young researcher who has received his/her Ph.D. and is pursuing specialized studies in preparation for an independent career. Donors who support these critical positions are reflecting City of Hope’s commitment to cultivating today’s scientists so they can develop the cures of tomorrow.
 
Opportunity Funds
With donor support, City of Hope is able to pursue emerging opportunities, perform groundbreaking research and develop lifesaving treatments. Program funds are directed immediately to the area specified by the donor, providing instant advancement and support for bold new research. Your philanthropic investment in research makes you a partner in developing improved treatments—and cures—for people everywhere.
 
Designated Research Fund — Minimum $100,000
You can establish a designated fund that will go to work immediately to support vital research in one of the main CITI initiatives. You can choose to support a specific initiative or researcher.

Technology Fund — Minimum $100,000
Your fund will be used to acquire technology that enables researchers to continue accelerating advancement at the leading edge of science.

Capital Funds
