About The Montel Williams MS Foundation:
The Montel Williams MS Foundation was established to further the scientific study of MS in October 2000. The goals of The Montel Williams MS Foundation are to provide financial assistance to select organizations and institutions conducting the most current research, to raise national awareness about MS, and to educate the public.
Since its inception, the Foundation has disbursed more than $1.2 million in research funding. Montel Williams has personally raised more than $1.1 million in the fight against MS, and lent his time and talents to numerous initiatives to combat the disease.
Currently, 100% of the public's donations go directly to funding research to find a cure for MS. We are committed to keeping administrative costs as low as possible to remain true to this mission. In the spring of 2005, researchers at Sweden's Karolinska Institute identified an MS gene, in part the result of MWMS Foundation funding. Today, in addition to the Karolinska Institute, Foundation monies are helping further groundbreaking research and discovery at Accelerated Cure Project, Brigham & Women's Hospital MS Center at Harvard Medical School, the Center for Neuroscience Research at Yale University, Kennedy Krieger Institute at Johns Hopkins University, Nancy Davis Center without Walls, National Pediatric MS Center at Stony Brook University, Northwestern University, the University of California at San Francisco and Uppsala University (Sweden).
