Since the US has decided to defund all scientific research that isn't military related, support for medical research in other places around the world is very important.
Israel has been a leader in cutting edge medical treatments for a wide variety of illnesses. Let's help continue that work.
"By making a gift to A4BGU’s emergency fund today, your gift will be matched dollar for dollar (up to $1 million) while directly investing in the future of medical research and the health of humanity. Imagine a world free from the ravages of cancer and diabetes. These researchers are on the front lines of making that future a reality, and they need your help to rebuild, restart, and continue their vital mission."
