What Is Innovators Network?
Innovators Network is a community of next-generation doers who power next-generation science aimed at ending cancer in their lifetime — and who get closer to the research, the researchers, and each other along the way.
You can fund breakthrough research in cancer and infectious disease — and connect with a community of people who believe world-changing science deserves world-class support. IN members give, volunteer and motivate their social circles to do the same.
A Community of Changemakers
Since 2008, IN members have raised more than $20 million for Fred Hutch research and built something special: a community whose energy matches the urgency of our mission.
Member Experience
IN members come together throughout the year for events and volunteer opportunities. Join us to see the science you support in action and get to know the researchers behind Fred Hutch’s most promising discoveries.

Impact In Action
IN catalyzes breakthroughs
The Innovators Network Endowed Chair — established and sustained by IN members — supports early-career scientists whose work shows creativity, patient benefit, and novel use of data and emerging technologies.
Expanding access to next-generation treatment
Mazyar Shadman, MD, MPH, medical director of the Bezos Family Immunotherapy Clinic, says CAR T-cell therapy is a game-changer for blood cancers and is focused on making this next-generation treatment available to more patients. As the IN Endowed Chair holder, his work is a direct result of member investment in next-generation science.
Saving lives by testing for hereditary cancers
Research shows that testing for inherited genetic changes that increase cancer risk can save lives. And not just the patient’s — but their family members’ as well. IN members support discoveries like this in prevention, early detection, treatment and survivorship.
IN is for the curious and committed — next-generation givers passionate about the research they support and what it could make possible in their lifetime. If you’re ready to get more involved, connect with us at innovatorsnetwork@fredhutch.org.
