Children's Leukemia Research Association, Inc. (aka Children's Leukemia Research Assn., Inc.)

Children's Leukemia Research Association (CLRA) is a donor-facing 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Garden City, New York, established to fund blood-cancer research and provide financial relief to patients and families. The organization's legal name on IRS filings appears as "CHILDREN'S LEUKEMIA RESEARCH ASSN., INC." (EIN 11-2106778), which matches the EIN provided for this research. CLRA operates two core programs: a Research Grant Program that awards pilot grants to U.S.-based investigators and a Patient Aid (co-pay reimbursement) Program that helps patients cover treatment-related medical bills. The charity reports ongoing activity in recent years — for example, it reported supporting 120 patients across 26 states in 2022 (reimbursing over $240,000) and 140 patients in 28 states in 2023 (reimbursing over $250,000) — and it continues to announce annual research grant recipients (including 2026 awardees). The organization is actively fundraising and publicly posts its Form 990s and program details on its website. Over decades CLRA has supported research at more than 55 institutions and reports having awarded several million dollars in research grants while disbursing patient-assistance payments to hundreds of patients, demonstrating both research and direct-service activity.
