  • Funds to Improve Worldwide Health

  • As of September 1, 2021, there remains $330,000 of the CNS Leadership Matching gift, available to match your donation. Give multiple times, any amount, and see your impact doubled, while matching funds last. 

    The following four funds are established to allow donors and corporate partners the choice of supporting initiatives or projects that best align with their own values.

    The CNS Foundation Mission Advancement Fund

    A gift to the Mission Advancement fund is perhaps the most impactful way to give, allowing the Board to act nimbly to fulfill the mission.

    The CNS Foundation’s philanthropic mission is to improve worldwide patient health by supporting innovative programs that allow neurosurgeons to collaborate globally as researchers, learners, educators, and caregivers.
