Funding
To date, HDBuzz has been funded by a consortium of HD community organizations. Our founding partners are the Huntington’s Disease Association of England and Wales, the Huntington Society of Canada, and the Huntington’s Disease Society of America. The Griffin Foundation, a non-profit educational foundation, is a major funding partner. More recently, we’ve received vital financial and stewardship support from the Michael Berman Family Foundation and the Hereditary Disease Foundation (HDF). Currently, we are housed as a project within the HDF until we can get our footing.
These organizations have funded and supported HDBuzz as a service to the entire HD community, but have never received special access to its content, which is freely available to all. They have never had any editorial control over our content, nor have they ever asked for it.
Critically, HDBuzz has never accepted funding or support from drug companies. HDBuzz loves drug companies – we’re hoping they help us cure HD! But taking money from any organization dedicated to a particular therapy could give the impression of bias in our reporting, which we diligently aim to avoid.
We are also funded through the wonderful and generous donations of our readers, to all of whom, we are especially thankful. If you are interested in donating to HDBuzz, you can do so on the donation page.
