The BHD Foundation (Charity Number: 1122073-1) is a charity and as such receives no government funding to run its operations. We rely solely on donations made by members of the public and organisations.
Funds raised by the public for the BHD Foundation are earmarked for projects impacting the communities we serve and enable us to provide the support, education and advocacy that is so important. Through our parent organisation the Myrovlytis Trust (Charity Number: 1122073), we fund vital research directed towards new therapies and eventually a cure for Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome.
Join us as we raise awareness, provide support and move the field forward together.
Help us fund a new website
We are raising funds to develop a new BHD Foundation website to better support the BHD community. Our current website was created some time ago and is in desperate need of updating. The new website will be optimised for use on mobile phones and tablets and will better meet the needs of patients and families. We are working with our Patient Advisory Board who will be involved in content development, design and user testing throughout.

Legacy
It is never easy to think of what happens next. You might be at a stage where you have decided that leaving a legacy to a charity is what is best for you. A legacy is there to ensure that your money is put to a good cause when you are no longer here. It is your way of helping the next generation of people with BHD, some of whom may be your own family members. If you are considering the BHD Foundation as part of your legacy and would like to speak to a member of the team about the next steps please email us at contact@bhdsyndrome.org and we will discuss the options available to you.
Gift In Kind
We can also accept Gifts in Kind. These gifts can be used in prize draws or auctions to help us raise funds and are always gratefully received. If you would like to donate to us, or discuss becoming a corporate donor, please email us at contact@bhdsyndrome.org
