ASGCT Foundation

The ASGCT Foundation is a charitable nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring that the life-changing potential of gene and cell therapy reaches every patient. By addressing resource scarcity and systemic barriers, the Foundation works to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and patient delivery.

Our Mission

Our mission is to ensure the future of gene and cell therapy by funding research and programming, leading to universal patient access.

Our Commitment

ASGCT covers all operating costs, ensuring that 100% of every donation is allocated to our core areas of immediate need:

• Support for Rare & Ultrarare Disease Patients: Families facing rare diagnoses often battle geographic inequities and high costs. We fund infrastructure and programming that reduces barriers to diagnosis, treatment, and clinical trial participation.
• Empowering Patient Advocacy Groups: Advocacy groups are the heart of drug development, yet many lack the funding and technical expertise to advance research. We provide the resources and infrastructure needed to close the gap in patient access.
• Investing in Early Career Researchers: The future of the field depends on the next generation of scientists. As federal and private funding declines, we provide critical seed funding to promising researchers, ensuring innovative projects for rare diseases don't disappear.
