Forum Grants: Help Hope Grow

To make this Valentine's Day special for someone you care about, the Forum is asking you to make a gift in support of pilot study grants for the scientists at the Texas Biomedical Research Institute.

A pilot study is a small scale preliminary study conducted in order to both evaluate necessities for a full-scale research project and subsequently apply for additional grant monies based on the preliminary findings. These grants are sometimes known as “seed grants” because they are relatively small but the ideas they power can grow to become huge in impact. While their work is very clinical, they are truly working on and for hope, and our investments through these seed grants helps it grow.

We invite you to make a gift of hope to support these research endeavors in honor of someone you care about and we will send them a very special Valentine sharing the news of your gift and a continuation of that same hope.

All grant donations over $50 made before February 8, 2023 will be eligible for the following:

  • A custom, personalized Valentine's card mailed to your loved one, courtesy of the Forum.

  • For the first 100 grants of $100 or more, this card will also be accompanied by a Forum branded acrylic heart paperweight

If you would like to send more than one Valentine grant, please check "other amount" and fill in the total and submit the additional recipients' information. Any combination of Valentine's card only ($50) or Valentine's card + commemorative acrylic heart is acceptable.

For example, you can donate $200 and send either four Valentine's cards only, two Valentine's cards + two acrylic hearts, or one Valentine's card + one acrylic heart and two Valentine's cards only.
