About This Charity

Vasculitis Foundation Canada's MISSION is to encourage and support research efforts into the cause and cure for all forms of vasculitis, and to establish a rapport with all known vasculitis patients to alleviate the isolation of having an uncommon, life-threatening disease. We want to assist vasculitis patients, and their families, with clinical information and coping strategies, to help them develop a strong and positive outlook to care for, and take control of their vasculitis. We hope to create greater awareness of vasculitis within the medical community, and the general public. We organize and administer periodic meetings, forums and conventions for sharing information and ideas in the research, treatment and diagnosis of Vasculitis. We are a volunteer run, not-for-profit, Canadian corporation and registered Canadian charity. We rely solely on donations to fulfill our mission. We welcome all donations, large and small, and issue tax receipts for all donations.
