Patients with chronic or life-altering diseases (such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, or multiple sclerosis) must fight both their illness and the financial burden it places on their family as they struggle to pay for their medications. It is estimated that over 35% of these patients have insurance but still cannot afford the co-payments for the specialty therapeutics they need to treat or control their disease, which can range from $300 to over $3000 per month for a single dose. These underinsured patients are not eligible for most free drug or patient assistance programs, leaving them with few alternatives. They may be forced to do without their medications or go into debt to obtain them, greatly affecting their health and quality of life. Our mission is to improve the health and quality of life of underinsured patients with chronic disease, cancer, or other life-altering conditions who cannot afford the medications they so desperately need.

We are a collaboration between parents, caregivers, clinicians, and research scientists. We want to transform the world of rare disease care to meet the needs of patients and their families. Our focus is the introduction of a new model of care that fosters innovative research. Health care agencies don't fund research and research agencies don't fund health care. This creates a problem when it comes to securing funding for work that can provide immediate benefits in treatment options. The Rare Disease Foundation fills the gap by providing funding to inspired clinicians and scientists for their patient-focused projects. Our goal is to support research that can directly impact the care and quality of life of a child with a rare disease. Grant requests are simplified to reduce red tape, vetted by both scientific and parent advisory panels, and funding decisions are made within 30 days of grant application to rapidly advance care solutions.
