What Is The Dwoskin Family Foundation?

For more than 10 years, the Dwoskin Family Foundation has dedicated time and effort to public health research that focuses on discovering the causal reasons for the onset of autoimmune, inflammatory and cognitive disorders in both children and older adults. The reason behind their mission is based on the increased prevalence of once-rare autoimmune and inflammatory diseases like Alzheimer's, autism, Parkinson's and other neurological diseases.

The founders of the foundation, Claire and Albert Dwoskin, established the foundation because many other people are unaware of the rising prevalence of such chronic illnesses and it's important to become educated because there may be a way to prevent and ultimately put a stop to such diseases and disorders. The Dwoskins understand how a chronic illness can impact a family's well-being because it can be challenging to achieve financial security, enjoyment and the fulfillment of their hopes and dreams. There are many unanswered questions these families are look for and the Dwoskin Family Foundation is focused on finding those answers.

Through their philanthropic commitment to the foundation enables 100% of the all funds donated by the public to be applied to research because that's what will fuel groundbreaking information. However, as a private foundation, the Dwoskin Family Foundation was limited in how it could use donated funds and how it could raise them. Some laws governing tax-exempt organizations made it challenging to dedicate 100% of the donations to philanthropic causes and in many cases regarding international research organizations, donated funds are heavily taxed. With that in mind, this reduced the amount of foundation-funded research and would delay the arrival of important research evidence.

Due to the nature of the private foundation, Claire Dwoskin established the Children's Medical Safety Research Institute, which a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. This allows for all donations to be tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law and provide 100% of the donations to the funding of new research. The mission of the Dwoskin Family Foundation carried over to CMSRI where the importance of addressing and researching the rising concerns about chronic illnesses is key.
