Celebrating Progress
The Neuroendocrine Tumor Research Foundation (NETRF) has come a long way since we were founded as Caring for Carcinoid by Nancy Lindholm in 2005. Our founders can be proud of how NETRF has grown into the largest private funder of NET research, with more than $26 million invested around the world. As we launch our year-end campaign, we celebrate our 15th Anniversary – Closer to a Cure. NETRF-funded researchers have made real progress in understanding neuroendocrine tumors.
Our work is not done. There is a real sense of urgency to support more NET research. Whether you have supported us in the past or are new to our community, join us now in the search for treatments and cures. Please make a gift to NETRF during our year-end campaign. Thank You!
Community Reflections
This organization has really been responsible for my being able to have a life that's not dominated by having NET cancer.
Anne and John FarrellNETRF Donors 
Like so many NET patients and their families, Terry and I didn't know what a NET was until my diagnosis in 2010.
Todd and Terry GilmanNETRF Donors 
NETRF has been able to bring so many researchers to this area that would not be working in this field without NETRF grants. You have been building the community of NET researchers.
James EisnerNETRF Donor 
My wife and I became interested in NETRF as a way to move research forward for a disease that is underserved and underfunded. We hope that with increased funding and awareness we can ultimately cure this disease.

NETRF works tirelessly to support the community's needs, continually evolving to supply the best information possible.

The reason I give annually is that it’s remarkable to see how many grants have been given to scientists. That gives us hope.

I was brought into the NETRF community because of a unique scientific expertise. It has been amazing to interact with other outstanding scientists and clinicians who have made major contributions to our understanding of neuroendocrine tumor biology and have expanded treatment options for patients.
GUILLERMINA (GIGI) LOZANO, PHDMember, Board of Scientific Advisors 
“Living in South Africa with NETs and not having access to NET specialist teams has been made easier by NETRF. NETRF helps me keep up with all the latest developments in the world of NETs. Most importantly, living with a condition without an accurate prognosis leaves a window for hope for a cure and NETRF gives me so much hope a cure will be found one day.”

I was drawn in by Nancy Lindholm, her passion and her laser focus. What she was doing seemed different, impactful and could help patients.
LAUREN ERBFormer NETRF Executive Director 
My mother died in 2000 from carcinoid cancer/NET tumors, and at the time, so little was known about the disease, it was like being in the Middle Ages. That spurred my initial involvement with NETRF.
