Halo is here to be the angel that research projects need. They’re applying a venture model to philanthropy to help make research funding sustainable and close the funding gap between basic research funded by the government, and clinical research funded by pharmaceutical companies. As they put it: “Each campaign Halo raises money for a defined research project that can help advance a promising discovery into a life-changing medical treatment.” Through joint marketing campaigns with relevant disease foundations, as well as direct marketing through social and digital channels, Halo reaches donors that are interested and willing to help. 100% of donations go directly to defined research projects, and donors receive updates on the project’s progress, so they can track the impact of their giving.
