The #RAREis Global Advocate Grant was established in 2022 to support the rare disease community by providing financial assistance to global advocacy groups working to advance, educate and address the needs of the community.

In 2024, we committed to provide 75 one-time $5,000 grants to global rare disease advocacy organizations to support programs and disease education initiatives.
