How does your 990 look to donors? Take the 10-Question Audit

Scientists at Trudeau Institute focus exclusively on an in-depth understanding of the roles of the immune system in health and disease to progress toward fighting diseases and finding cures. The conduct of experimental studies is crucial to understanding the body's immune system, leading to progress in strengthening our bodies' ability to fight life-threatening infections, inflammatory diseases, and cancer. Discoveries about the intricate workings of the immune system apply to a vast array of human afflictions, and the list of diseases critically involving the immune system is extensive: tuberculosis, influenza, covid-19, arthritis, asthma, sepsis, colitis, multiple sclerosis, cancer, zika, and malaria, among many others.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown. A filing can only be corrected by the organization filing an amended return with the IRS; the corrected information appears here at our next update.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing, and less than the filing contains. Our pages do not display home addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, contact the filing organization or the IRS directly.
