Consano, which means “to heal” in Latin, is the nation’s first 501(c)(3) crowdfunding platform for innovative medical research. Consano has shifted the traditional philanthropic model of “You give, They decide,”” into one that enables donors to choose exactly where their research donations are spent. The organization has found great success by bringing transparency and control to medical research philanthropy, and 100% of every project donation goes to directly support research.
