For Tech Companies & Foundations
Amplify your engineers' impact.
Partner with us to sponsor fellowship cohorts, match employee volunteer hours, or fund rare-cancer research directly. Help cures for childhood cancer move faster, with measurable outcomes you can report against.
Why Partner With Us
Three reasons this partnership is different.
Real impact, not optics
Each cohort delivers 520–780 hours of structured engineering work to a research lab, equivalent to 3–4 months of a full-time engineer. We measure outcomes, not activities.
Substance over sponsorship
Your engineers contribute real work to ongoing rare-cancer research: genomic pipelines, ML models, and analysis tools that move toward clinical impact. Reportable outputs, not optics.
Engineer engagement that retains talent
Mission-driven volunteer work at this caliber is a meaningful retention and engagement lever for your senior engineers, and creates portfolio-grade work for early-career engineers.
Ways to Partner
Four partnership tracks.
We tailor each engagement to your goals. Combine tracks or pick one that fits.
Cohort Sponsor
Sponsor a fellowship cohort
Underwrite a focused 6-month engagement: a team of 3–5 engineers + a Tech Lead embedded with a pediatric cancer research lab. Choose a research focus area (e.g., Ewing sarcoma genomic pipelines) and your brand is associated with measurable acceleration of that work.
Indicative range: $50,000 – $150,000 per cohort, depending on scope and focus.
Employee Fellowship Match
Match your engineers' time
Many of our fellows are full-time engineers at leading tech companies. Match their volunteer hours dollar-for-dollar (or with paid time off), turning individual contributions into structured corporate impact.
Pairs well with existing employee giving / matching programs.
Infrastructure Partner
Cloud credits & technical infrastructure
In-kind contribution of cloud compute, GPU credits, ML platform access, or development tools. Helps research labs work with large genomic and imaging datasets without infrastructure being the bottleneck.
We coordinate directly with your developer relations or grants team.
Strategic Partnership
Long-term mission alignment
Multi-year partnerships that combine cohort sponsorship, employee engagement, and infrastructure support. Co-branded with shared reporting on outcomes: research time saved, workflows improved, papers co-authored.
Designed in collaboration with your CSR or foundation team.
