Sparking Progress in PCD Research and Treatment
For over 20 years, the PCD Foundation has been at the forefront of pioneering research in Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD), tirelessly working to advance understanding, diagnosis, and care. But we haven’t just advocated for new discoveries—we’ve built the essential infrastructure that allows patients to access expert care and participate in cutting-edge research. We are now focused on a critical goal: developing a comprehensive therapeutic network to accelerate clinical trials aimed at better understanding, treating, and ultimately curing PCD.
At the PCD Foundation, we’re thinking big about the future. We’ve gathered the brightest minds in respiratory research—researchers who are on the brink of breakthroughs that could reshape the landscape of rare disease treatment. These discoveries hold the potential to revolutionize the lives of people affected by PCD. But to turn these transformational ideas into reality, we need the resources to bring them to life. That’s why we’ve launched:
Ignite the Future is a bold, focused plan with the goal of raising $5 million over the next three years to fund our most ambitious initiatives. Philanthropy is the driving force behind this campaign—it’s the spark that will ignite the progress necessary to advance our work. Every contribution, regardless of size, fuels our ability to expand our efforts and accelerate change.
We’ve outlined three key pillars for this campaign, each representing core elements of the PCD Foundation’s mission:
- Optimizing Clinical Care: Specialized care and accelerated research aimed at promising interventions and cures.
- Community Support: Strengthening and supporting our patient population, ensuring each voice is heard and all have the opportunity to thrive.
- Healthier Future: Frontier programs that advance scientific investigation and clinical trials to ensure a healthier future.
