I'm Rick Peck, also known as "The Philanthropy Guy.” Let's talk about: 1) How nonprofits can most effectively showcase their mission and vision; 2) How donors and potential donors can make the greatest impact possible in the world; and 3) how professional advisors, including philanthropic advisors, can offer the most up-to-date information and services to their clients. After spending almost 20 years in the charitable giving world, I realized it's time to help more nonprofits thrive rather than just survive, while also helping those who have MONEY TO GIVE find top organizations that are deserving of their donations. So join us here for more of that giving feeling!

Paul Romness on Venture Philanthropy and the Race to Cure Pediatric Cancer
In this powerful episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Paul Romness, President and CEO of OS Therapies, a clinical-stage biotech company tackling one of the most heartbreaking challenges in medicine: osteosarcoma, a rare pediatric bone cancer. With a therapy originally developed at the University of Pennsylvania, Paul and his team are using an innovative immune-boosting approach that is already showing promise in both human and canine trials. What makes OS Therapies particularly inspiring is its partnership with the nonprofit sector. Seven mission-driven organizations have stepped up to fund OS’s research through a venture philanthropy model, accelerating new treatments while staying true to their charitable missions. “If the trial had failed,” Paul says, “they still would’ve fulfilled their mission of advancing research. But the good news is, it’s working.” Rick and Paul explore the hope, science, and heart behind this game-changing model of nonprofit impact and medical innovation. Key Takeaways: OS Therapies is pioneering a HER2-targeted immunotherapy for osteosarcoma with minimal side effects and strong early results. The treatment has already received conditional USDA approval for dogs and is progressing through FDA trials for children. Nonprofits are playing a catalytic role by investing in translational research and accelerating therapies to market. The PBS documentary Shelter Me: Cancer Pioneers shares the moving story of OS Therapies' science and patients—human and canine.
