Breast cancer fundraisers are everywhere, but most of the money raised goes toward breast cancer prevention and early detection efforts. Very little of it, only 2-3%, is dedicated toward research for Stage IV, metastatic breast cancer. METAvivor is the only organization that solely funds MBC research through a scientific peer review process. 100% of all donations go into MBC-specific research grants. METAvivor is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and all donations are tax deductible.
If you have a friend or loved one who has passed away from metastatic breast cancer, you can make a donation to METAvivor in their memory. At the request of next-of-kin, we are pleased to post the obituary and a photo of your deceased loved one on our memorial page with a link for others to make memorial donations. Donate Now

We are frequently asked how an individual can bequeath a donation to METAvivor Research and Support in their Last Will and Testament. Arranging to have all or a portion of your estate go to METAvivor’s Research Fund upon your death is a most generous final act. We suggest you discuss the various options with your lawyer and offer verbiage below that you might consider.
"I give, devise, and bequeath to METAVIVOR RESEARCH AND SUPPORT (EIN 37-1578088) IN MIDDLETON WI , the sum of $________(or a description of the specific asset), for the benefit of its metastatic breast cancer research fund.”
"All the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, both real and personal, I give to METAVIVOR RESEARCH AND SUPPORT (EIN 37-1578088) IN MIDDLETON WI for its metastatic breast cancer research fund.”
"I devise and bequeath the residue of the property, real and personal and wherever situated, owned by me at my death, to (name of beneficiary), if (she/he) survives me. If (name of beneficiary) does not survive me, I devise and bequeath my residuary estate to METAVIVOR RESEARCH AND SUPPORT (EIN 37-1578088) IN MIDDLETON WI, for its metastatic breast cancer research fund."
For any donation of $250 or more to METAvivor (including contributions of cash or property), donors must obtain and keep a contemporaneous written acknowledgment from METAvivor. This acknowledgment should specify the amount of cash donated and describe any property contributions. It must also state whether METAvivor provided any goods or services in exchange for the donation and, if so, include a description and a good faith estimate of their value. A single document from METAvivor can fulfill both the acknowledgment requirement for all donations of $250 or more and the written communication requirement for monetary contributions
