Ukraine RARE Relief

This grant opportunity is currently closed.

Supporting the Ukraine RARE Relief Project

Global Genes is providing rare relief impact grants to rare disease organizations who are directly helping rare families with their tangible needs directly impacted by the war in Ukraine

Whether that be identifying medical facilities in a new country; acquiring necessary treatments or medicines; providing transportation, food, water, or clothing; or other immediate needs. Organizations providing direct or indirect relief to rare disease families displaced or impacted by the crisis in Ukraine are eligible to receive funds to help support and expand their initiatives.

We are working to rapidly distribute funds to organizations on the ground to make as big an impact as possible in the near-term through our RARE Impact Grants program.
