Washington, DC – Sept. 9, 2024 – The Venable Foundation announced today a $500,000 grant—$100,000 annually through 2028—to create the Venable Fund for Neurosurgery Research at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The grant will support the Department of Neurosurgery’s nationally recognized brain tumor treatment and research program. Additional donations may be made beyond the five-year commitment.
The Venable Fund for Neurosurgery Research will enable Hopkins researchers to further the university’s mission to pioneer innovative therapies for patients across the globe.
“We are proud to support the important work led by Johns Hopkins’ neurosurgeons and neuroscientists,” said Bob Waldman, president of the Venable Foundation. “Their ongoing commitment to and research in support of this cause have made an indelible mark on impacted families, friends, and communities. We hope that this fund will contribute to further learning and development of effective treatments.”
The Venable Foundation, which celebrates four decades of impact, is proudly funded by the partners of Venable LLP, which was founded in Baltimore in 1900.
