In today’s episode, we’ll discuss St. Jude Global, an innovative endeavor at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to take lifesaving cancer treatments to children around the world. With the launch of St. Jude Global, the research hospital has set an ambitious goal to cure at least 60% of children with the most common cancers worldwide by 2030. By sharing research and knowledge globally, St. Jude and its network of researchers and institutions seek to amplify their nonprofit social impact on a global scale. Their global approach is focused on capacity building and partnership, two ideas that have increasingly been part of conversations about effective philanthropy.
