The Maurer Foundation

What The Maurer Foundation does

The Maurer Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization founded in 1995 by Dr. Virginia E. Maurer, MD, a former Chief of the Division of Breast Surgery and former Director of NYU Winthrop Hospital's Breast Health Program. Headquartered in Melville, New York, the foundation delivers breast health education focused on prevention, early detection, risk reduction, and healthy lifestyle choices. Its mission is grounded in action-oriented education: rather than general awareness, the curriculum teaches self-examination techniques, nutrition, exercise, and clinical screening practices, with content vetted by a Medical Advisory Council and delivered by certified breast health educators.

The foundation's product and service portfolio spans in-person programs for high schools, colleges, community groups, nursing/healthcare professionals, and corporate workplaces across Long Island and the New York Metro area, complemented by two digital offerings: a $100 Self-Paced Digital Breast Health Course and a $700 Advanced Certification for Breast Health Educators. A free Breast Health Resource Guide is also maintained in English and Spanish. The business model combines tax-deductible individual donations, signature fundraising events (Golf Classic, Pink Diamond Gala, Motorcycle Ride, Pink Bowl, Champions for Charity, Sip Support & Connect), grant funding (notably from Pink Aid), and educational program fees, with no public-facing API, mobile app, or disclosed AI capabilities. The organization is governed by a volunteer board and operates with a 1–10 employee headcount.
