About BRAIN TUMOR FOUNDATION (The Brain Tumor Foundation)

The Brain Tumor Foundation (BTF) is a New York–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides patient and family support, public education, and programs designed to expand access to neuroimaging and early detection of brain abnormalities. ([braintumorfoundation.org](https://braintumorfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Patient-Info-Form-1.pdf))

BTF operates the long-running "Road to Early Detection" initiative (including a mobile MRI program) and in recent years has expanded that work through a national partnership to deploy lower-cost, portable MRI technology and to conduct research in collaboration with academic partners.
