Support the Canadian Gene Cure Foundation

Since 1999, the Canadian Gene Cure Foundation has been enabling Canadians to lead the world in the discovery and advancement of cures of inherited diseases through supporting the human genetics community.

Virtually all diseases have a genetic component. Some are the result of faulty genes passed down the generations, some of new mutations, and some of an interaction between a person’s genetics and their environment.

  • Life shattering diseases such as cystic fibrosis, juvenile diabetes and muscular dystrophy come down to a roll of the genetic dice.
  • Common chronic disorders like heart disease, high blood pressure, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, diabetes, cancer and obesity have a genetic component that influences susceptibility.

You can make a difference!

Your support for the Canadian Gene Cure Foundation helps advance medical genetics research in Canada:

  • Canadian scientists will discover cures and treatments for medical genetic disorders,
  • a world class, connected medical genetics research community will continue to flourish in Canada, and
  • Canada’s brightest students will consider medical genetics research as a career.

CGCF is funded entirely through private support. We welcome donations from individuals, corporations, foundations and governments to support our strategic areas of focus: strengthening Canada’s research community, supporting collaborative research and inspiring young Canadians.

Join us in helping find cures for some of the world’s most devastating diseases. For more information on how you can support world class medical genetics research, please contact:
