Impact evidence

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $401 spent. We endeavor to share and make the most information available to doctors, caregivers, and those interested in educating themselves the POLR2A gene. There are necessary office expenses, administrative costs, and other fees to maintain the formation of our organization. The $252.00 spent to maintain our PMB and $14.43 in Paypal fees are attributed to this effort. Additionally, $134.36 was spent on purchasing Writers for Rare books to be placed at hospitals, fundraising locations, and/or other public locations where our organization has potential to make new contacts with doctors and families.
  2. $97 spent. We strive to ensure that Scientific Research that benefits those with a POLR2A gene mutation is visible within academia by forming alliances with these institutions. Discussions surround means of supporting a natural history study began in 2024. Members of our organization continued to take part in testing of the survey delivery for the genetic registry that would be setup as a part of this survey. The $97.20 web hosting expenses are attributed to this program service.
  3. $1,050 spent. We are ambitious about being able to reach out to those affected by mutations of POLR2A gene, help them find the information they need, and to advocate for resources on their behalf. In 2024 our organization became a NORD platinum member, and our organization has been able to attend the NORD conference in 2024 and 2025 to establish a network or resources. NORD Membership fees of $50.00 contribute to this accomplishment. Also in 2025 our organization provided a grant to help with funeral expenses for a patient with a POLR2A diagnosis. Additional revenue from this area has the potential to be applied to future support of other items such as the natural history study, medical equipment, or travel expenses for other families.
