Donated funds go directly to supporting patient-specific research.

Due to your team’s incredible dedication, my son and I are a part of two research studies, only made possible by Rare Genomics Institute’s findings. Also, we are exploring whole genome sequencing based on your input. Your volunteers are just wonderful! You provide HOPE!

We're grateful for the work that Rare Genomics is doing to make a difference in the lives of families like ours. The desire to find answers, accelerate research, and support patients make a huge impact and bring hope.

Thanks to the generosity of Rare Genomics I was fortunate enough to receive Whole Genome Sequencing. It allowed for a better outlook to prepare me for the quality of life I will look forward to in the future.

Rare Genomics is more than just an organization. It is a community dedicated to helping rare disease patients find hope for a cure. We know how many amazing discoveries they have done already. It is so inspiring. We are so thankful for honest help and devotion.

Support Our Cause

We are a nonprofit organization, funded primarily through the generosity of donors who believe in our cause. Donated funds go directly to supporting patient-specific research. We also raise funds through other means, such as grants from academic institutions, foundations, private donations, and other financial sponsors. We are incredibly thankful to everyone who has given us their support and made it possible for us to do what we do.

For every dollar you donate to Rare Genomics that value is increased 75 times due to the work of our volunteers.

To date, Rare Genomics has helped over 800 families. In 2013, 83% of patients working with Rare Genomics who could not receive insurance coverage or obtain grant funding chose to crowdfund the cost of DNA sequencing. All Rare Genomics families who started crowdfunding reached their goal and 64% of families exceeded their crowdfunding target goal.

Help Support the Rare Genomics Institute

The Rare Genomics Institute is a non-profit with a big dream - to help all those struggling with rare diseases to have a hope to progress and cure. In addition to the individual patient campaigns, we create general infrastructure to help one day enable any one do any research for any disease. Our programs include not only genetic sequencing and research, but also educational, awareness, and capacity building. We hope to best use our little funds to leverage great impact! Thanks for supporting Rare Genomics Institute and may we help many families together.
