Thank you, Infectious diseases Research Fund DOnors!
Three philanthropic leaders—Ann and John Bookout, Diane and David Modesett, and the Jerold B. Katz Foundation—created a Challenge Initiative at the end of March to support the Houston Methodist Infectious Diseases Research Fund benefiting COVID-19 research, treatments and innovations. This challenge offered to match every philanthropic dollar given (up to $1 million) with an equal dollar from the Challenge. This $2 million goal was achieved within two weeks.
A second trio—Diane and David Modesett, Freeport LNG, and the Ting Tsung and Wei Fong Chao Foundation—established a second Challenge Initiative with the same goal: to match every philanthropic dollar given, up to $1 million. This challenge was met in less time!
