Your gift funds research that changes lives across Canada.

We turn research into better treatments, better care, and better daily life. Your gift keeps that work moving.

Your gift goes directly to the work.

  • Arthritis affects more Canadians than cancer, heart disease, and diabetes combined, yet receives only 2% of research funding. Arthritis Research Canada is changing that.
  • We don't fund research done elsewhere. We lead and conduct it firsthand. And with lower administrative overhead than most charities, more of your donation directly impacts our results.
  • From better treatments to tools that help people stay active and independent, our research creates real outcomes for people living with arthritis and rheumatic diseases across Canada.

Arthritis Changed Everything

Arthritis impacts all aspects of life.

I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at 25. The symptoms came on quickly. I was shocked that someone my age could have this disease.
