Matt and Nancy Browar have found meaningful experiences in their charitable gifts

They chose to donate to the STRIVE Program, an Institute initiative that supports novel, innovative ideas in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. "SBP encourages chemists, cell biologists, geneticists and others to work on projects together. These are the type of 'broad strokes' that can only lead to better, deeper insights," says the Browars.

Conrad Prebys (1933-2016) was a generous supporter and trustee of SBP

His contribution led to the renaming to the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute. He said, "If I can reduce suffering, reduce the time from the workbench to the hospital bed, it doesn't get much better than that for me."

She established the Pauline and Stanley Foster Presidential Chair at the Institute, which Kristiina Vuori, M.D., Ph.D., currently holds. In regard to her philanthropic efforts, Foster said, "I’m so grateful I can do it, and to know that the future will be better because of this.”
