A Note on Our Funding Allocation and Program Impact
In light of some questions raised about the allocation of our resources, we wish to clarify the financial structure underpinning our Copayment Assistance Program. It is imperative to understand that the funds designated for this program are specifically allocated for this purpose and cannot be diverted to other uses.
When generous donors contribute to the Musella Foundation, they have the option to direct their donation towards specific programs or to allow the Foundation to allocate it where it is most needed. Similarly, grants received by our organization are earmarked for particular initiatives, in accordance with the stipulations set forth in each grant agreement. This ensures that our financial resources are used effectively and in alignment with our donors' and grantors' intentions.
It's important to underscore that the funds allocated for the Copayment Assistance Program do not detract from our other critical initiatives. On the contrary, this program plays a vital role in our broader mission by bringing more patients and their families into the Musella Foundation family. It enhances our patient navigation, educational outreach, advocacy, and research funding efforts by ensuring that more individuals can access the treatments they need without the added stress of financial burden.
Our commitment to transparency and accountability is paramount. We remain dedicated to maximizing the impact of every donation and grant, supporting the brain tumor community through comprehensive programs that address both immediate needs and long-term research goals.

Musella Foundation's Copayment Assistance Program Reaches a Monumental Milestone!
The Musella Foundation for Brain Tumor Research & Information, Inc. is proud to announce a significant achievement in our Copayment Assistance Program. Dedicated to aiding patients in accessing necessary treatments, our program provides grants up to $5,000 per annum to cover copayments for four key treatments: Temozolomide, Avastin, Optune, and Gleostine, including their generic and bioequivalent variants.
As of today, we have joyously approved our 2,400th patient, elevating the total grants awarded to needy patients to the impressive sum of $12,000,000 since the program's inception in December 2011. These funds, earmarked specifically for the copayment program, ensure that our commitment to other vital initiatives—such as patient navigation, educational outreach, advocacy and research funding—remains undiminished and robust.
This milestone underscores our unwavering dedication to the brain tumor community. It reinforces our commitment to alleviating the financial burdens faced by patients and their families. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our donors, volunteers, and the entire community for their ongoing support and solidarity in this endeavor.
Together, we are making a difference.
