NORD’s Rare Giving Society recognizes the extraordinary generosity of individuals and family foundations who donate $1,000 or more to NORD annually. The generosity of these members enables NORD to improve the lives of those with rare disorders.

For the past 40 years, NORD has been at the heart of the rare disease community, working to drive public policy, accelerate research, and improve patient care. Looking forward, NORD is setting a bold agenda that builds on our history of serving the more than 25 million Americans living with rare diseases. Join our collaborative efforts to accelerate research, shorten the diagnostic odyssey, and improve care for people and families living with rare disorders.

All donations and matching gifts will count toward the annual membership in the Rare Giving Society. For more information about membership in NORD’s Rare Giving Society, please contact us.
