Vision and Approach
All JKTG Foundation work is rooted in relentless curiosity. Asking the question, “What can be done differently to make things better and more effective? The Foundation’s unique approach differs from other grant-making foundations and is grounded in the thoughtful selection and support of unbiased research that fosters collaboration and public discussion.
Driving Research
In addition to this work, our founder and president, Ted Giovanis, committed $35 million to Johns Hopkins Medicine creating the Giovanis Institute for Translational Cell Biology. The Institute brings together researchers from different disciplines to study metastasis, or how cancer spreads to other parts of the body. Metastasis is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths and there’s still much to learn.
The JKTG Foundation is supported by Team TGM, a championship-winning race team that competes in the Michelin Pilot Challenge. Our founder and president, Ted Giovanis, is owner and a driver for the team, and brings his racing background to our work.
There’s always emphasis on rethinking how and what we do in cancer research with the goal of getting better and faster. Really, these principles are applicable to life too. Ted’s award-winning book, Focus Forward: Life Lessons from Racing, shares keys for teamwork, success and more that everyone can use. Click here to order now.
