Name of your NGO
The Arthritis Society

Mission:
To invest in cutting-edge research, proactive advocacy and innovative solutions that will deliver better health outcomes for people affected by arthritis.

History of NGO
The Arthritis Society began nearly 70 years ago with one very clear goal; to alleviate the suffering of people crippled by arthritis. Founded in 1948 by Dr. Wallace Graham and his medical peers from across the country, it was Mary Pack, a fiercely driven community advocate who worked tirelessly to put peoples’ needs truly into the spotlight. Today we bring that passion to communities across Canada.

We are proud to have the trust and support of donors and sponsors who provide the funding capacity to invest in cutting-edge research, proactive advocacy and innovative solutions that will deliver better health outcomes and an improved quality of life for people affected by arthritis. That support has resulted in broad educational outreach to people living with arthritis and over $200M invested, the largest source of charitable arthritis research funding.

We benefit from the advice of subject matter experts on our National Board, our Division Advisory Boards and Medical, Scientific and Patient-centric committees along with countless committed volunteers.
