Overview

Mission

The primary purpose of Princess Hailey's Hope Foundation is 1) to raise funds to support pediatric brain cancer research, with an emphasis on Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG)/Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG); 2) to raise funds to support children fighting cancer, with an emphasis on those who have been diagnosed with DIPG and DMG; and 3) to raise awareness of childhood cancer, which is the leading cause of death by disease in children in the United States.

What it reported doing in 2025

1. HOPE FROM HAILEY: Our organization awarded three grants in 2025 to advance research and treatment for Diffuse Instrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). 1. A grant of $15,000 was given to the Hailey Acevedo Power Up Against DIPG Research Fund at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN (EIN: 62-0646012), to support their efforts to develop effective treatments for both DIPG and DMG. 2. A grant of $5,000 was awarded to the DIPG/DMG Research Funding Alliance, administered by Tough2Gether Foundation in Manhattan, KS (EIN: 92-1204987). This funding will help support a grant to Rebecca Ronsley at Seattle Children's Hospital for her research on quad target CAR-T cell therapy outcomes from the BrainChild-04 clinical trial. 3. An additional $6,500 was awarded to the DIPG/DMG Research Funding Alliance (also administered by Tough2Gether Foundation) to help support the National DIPG/DMG Brain Tumor Board, which provides referring oncologists with advice from a panel of DIPG/DMG experts on the best treatment options for their patients. This service is a free and confidential resource for families across the United States. To date, this board has reviewed over 500 DIPG/DMG patient cases. The exact number of individuals who will benefit from these grants is unknown.

Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
