Make a Donation
Your tax-deductible contribution to SIR Foundation enables the Foundation to continue its mission to fund quality research in interventional radiology-today's research is tomorrow's practice.
Annual Fund
The Annual Fund supports the operation of SIR Foundation. Contributions to this fund are vital to the survival and continued operation of SIR Foundation, because SIR membership dues do not cover the operation of the Foundation. Many SIR members choose to donate annually as they renew their memberships. Please remember to donate to the Annual Fund each year. Make your Annual Fund donation now via the SIR Member website.
As SIR Foundation currently recognizes donations at specific giving levels annually, the "Order of Merit" recognizes the longevity of giving to our members who continually advocate for the Foundation by their unfailing support of the Foundation's mission to advance research, innovation, and education in interventional radiology. The SIR Foundation will begin acknowledging "Order of Merit" donors who will have given a minimum of five consecutive years to the Annual Fund.

Discovery Campaign
The Discovery Campaign is intended to amplify the success of the Annual Fund. To ensure that IR professionals are poised to be pioneers and leaders in the future, SIR Foundation must have a predictable source of unrestricted funds. To that end SIR Foundation has launched the Discovery Campaign. All SIR members are strongly encouraged to make both the Discovery Campaign and the Annual Fund part of their giving strategy.
Many of your colleagues (including 100% of SIR and SIR Foundation leadership) have made five year commitments to this important effort. To date the SIR membership has raised over $2.5 million toward this important effort.
Your Discovery Campaign Contribution Will
1. Educate the public, providers, payors and policy makers on the effectiveness of IR procedures through the creation and maintenance of registries and other research efforts targeted at contributing to Level 1 evidence regarding the efficacy of interventional radiology procedures, helping to increase public knowledge of this cutting-edge field of medicine and ensuring that patients receive the most effective, least invasive treatments.
2. Double the number of investigator grants in a program that has an impressive 12 to 1 return on investment via acquisition of external funding, enabling the next generation of researchers to investigate new procedures that will become tomorrow's standard of care.
3. Support clinical trial efforts in IR by enabling the Foundation to serve as a research incubator and resource provider in IR clinical trials, identifying critical research topics, organizing research consensus panels and providing clinical trial planning grants to help bring more IR trials to fruition.
4. Enable the development of new procedures and therapies that will maintain IR at the forefront of image-guided interventions well into the future.
