Your experience with arthritis matters. Sharing it helps others feel less alone and brings the human reality of arthritis into everything we do.
6 million Canadians live with arthritis, and for many, every step, grip, and movement comes with pain. Your monthly gift funds the research that helps people move better, feel better, and live more fully, month after month.
Monthly giving to Arthritis Research Canada provides the steady, reliable funding our scientists need to keep discoveries moving forward, without interruption. Your support helps build the momentum that creates treatments that change daily life for millions of Canadians.
Arthritis Research Canada is 100% dedicated to arthritis and rheumatic diseases, including lupus, gout and vasculitis, because the people living with them deserve better solutions, sooner! Every study we conduct, every discovery we make, every tool we build is focused on reducing pain, restoring mobility and helping people get back to the moments that matter.
It’s quick, secure, and flexible! You can cancel anytime, and the impact you make continues every day!
This is what your ongoing support helps achieve:
We proved that biologics are safe in pregnancy, giving thousands of Canadians with inflammatory arthritis the confidence to start a family.
We developed Making It Work, a practical program that helps people with arthritis stay employed. Because no one should have to choose between their health and their livelihood.
These are just two of the discoveries your support helps make possible. When you give monthly, 84 cents of every dollar goes directly to research, fueling discoveries that improve lives across Canada
