After a lengthy application and board approval process, the Foundation is thrilled to join more than 330 organizations in helping people with rare diseases live better and fuller lives. This powerful network epitomizes the NORD slogan: Alone we are rare. Together we are strong.

For forty years, NORD has been a national steward and a steadfast partner helping those who battle and care for rare disease feel seen, heard, supported and connected. They are a full-service, mission-driven nonprofit reimagining a future where every person with a rare disease, and their families live their best lives.

With platinum level membership, the Foundation will have exclusive access to peer mentoring, networking with other organization leaders, the most recent updates in the rare disease community, and resources for board management.

WARD’S Foundation is proud to be a part of such a wonderful, supportive community and continue our mission of Working to Advance Rare Disease Support in order to improve the lives of people affected by rare diseases.‍
