Consano Information

Consano is a non-profit crowd-funding platform created to advance medical progress by enabling individuals to donate to specific medical research projects from a variety of academic institutions. In October of 2011, Consano founder, Molly Lindquist, was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 32. Because her two young daughters were now more likely to develop this disease as a result of her diagnosis, Molly looked for ways to donate to specific medical research projects that might help her girls. When she could not find an easy way to donate with that level of visibility, she decided to create a non-profit crowdfunding platform that would enable individuals to donate directly to a specific medical research project in a variety of disease categories.
