Where will your donation go?
We are a charitable organization dedicated to serving our GNAO1 community, but what does that mean?
Our 3 Core Pillars:
1. Funding Research: Supporting Breakthroughs
2. Awarding Scholarships: Empowering Education
3. Raising Awareness: Fostering Understanding
Almost all of what we raise will be used to fund research and support our scientific allies in finding breakthroughs that could improve the lives of those affected by the disorder.
We will provide two scholarships annually. Scholarships will equate to 1% each (total 2%) of the total funds raised that year (up to $ 1,000 each = $ 2,000 total), unless our Board of Directors votes to allocate more in a given year. Who is eligible for the scholarships, and how are the students chosen?
- One to a neuro-typical student who is pursuing a career in the medical / science fields, and our Board of Directors will evaluate all applications accordingly.
- One for a neurodivergent student pursuing higher education and/or seeking opportunities to improve themselves. The same application process will be used.
A small percentage of the donations will be allocated towards fostering understanding and educating the broader public about GNAO1-Neurodevelopmental Disorders. Educational initiatives will be developed and implemented by our Board of Directors.
