ABOUT THE
CAMPAIGN

The Founder’s Fund Campaign is Curebound’s philanthropic effort to bring experts from San Diego’s unique ecosystem of life sciences, research institutes and clinical settings together with the philanthropic community to ignite collaborative work for higher levels of discovery. As our founding circle continues to grow, the campaign will continue through 2023 as we move steadily toward our goal which will provide substantial impact on the scope and breadth of research Curebound is able to fund.
