As a Helfgott donor, you can take pride in the knowledge that you are part of a community of forward-thinking individuals who believe in the power of prevention and the wisdom of holism.
Here, your dollars can make a sizable impact. Don Helfgott, Inspiration Software co-founder and the donor for whom NUNM’s Helfgott Research Institute is named, said he chose to make a contribution because he saw a chance for his investment to make more of a difference than it would at larger, standard medical research organizations. “This is virgin territory,” he said, “a major opportunity for people to fund lasting and meaningful research.”Our plans for Helfgott include significant growth (our vision). As we develop, we need your help.

- $25,000 buys a -80 freezer and power supply.
- $250,000 buys an 8-laser flow cytometer.
Scholarships
Students are the next generation of research and are building the base for natural medicine. Our goal is to have standing scholarships:
