Corporate giving
By supporting us, your organisation has the power to transform the lives of millions of rare disease patients and their families
There is great value in all corporates have to offer, from their time and services, to resources and financial support. Findacure is always eager to develop corporate relationships that are mutually beneficial. We welcome support in a wide variety of forms, recognising that each relationship is unique. We ensure complete transparency in all our corporate relationships, with flexible benefit packages dependant on the wishes of your company. Collaboration between charity and corporates is vital to successfully build a rare disease community that supports, informs, and works together for the betterment of all rare conditions. Together, we can transform the lives of millions of people who are living with a rare disease.
Don’t just take our word for it, meet Annabel from Costello Medical Consulting
“Our ongoing collaboration with Findacure has been, and continues to be, exceptionally rewarding and our staff that volunteer to work on this project obtain immense job satisfaction from the opportunity. It is a true pleasure to work with such an enthusiastic and passionate charity, who are playing an instrumental role in promoting collaboration and developing treatments for patients with rare diseases. The work we do together spans health economics, publications and design – allowing us to share a range of expertise and encouraging people from different teams within Costello Medical to work together. Furthermore, Findacure’s commitment to promoting interactions between stakeholders in the rare disease area is fantastic; their networking events and scientific conferences are the perfect place to meet others from industry, as well as those from the public sector, and they are an immensely valuable opportunity to hear from patients themselves.”
