Our Story, Our Purpose

The Andelyn Foundation was created from a simple but powerful belief — that science and compassion belong side by side.

Why We Exist

Building on the legacy of Andelyn Biosciences, a leader in gene therapy and viral-vector manufacturing, we recognize that innovation alone isn’t enough. Beyond the laboratory, families living with rare and ultra-rare diseases face profound medical, emotional, and financial challenges — and their journeys deserve visibility, support, and community.

Their stories remind us that every scientific breakthrough begins and ends with people.

Our Values

Compassion

We lead with heart.

Community

We believe strength lies in connection.

Integrity

Every resource and story is honored with transparency.

Sharing voices, creating visibility, driving change.

Hope

The foundation of our work, and the promise we bring.

Our Mission

Rooted in compassion, we provide meaningful financial support to families navigating rare and ultra-rare diseases while raising awareness that strengthens understanding and community.

Our Vision

A world where families navigating rare disease are seen, supported, and strengthened — never left to walk alone. When awareness meets compassion, hope takes root.

Supporting Patients & Families

Each year, funds raised are directed to one selected family’s charitable foundation — providing meaningful financial assistance and heartfelt support as they navigate their rare or ultra-rare diagnosis.

Raising Awareness

We elevate patient stories and share the realities of rare diseases so that one person’s rare doesn’t mean unseen, misunderstood, or unsupported.

Our Connection to Andelyn

The Andelyn Foundation was created from the same purpose that defines Andelyn Biosciences — the belief that behind every scientific breakthrough is a story, a family, and a reason to keep striving.

While Andelyn Biosciences pioneers what’s possible through innovation, the Foundation extends that mission beyond the lab — reaching into the lives of those who inspire the science itself. Together, we connect discovery to compassion — and compassion to meaningful support for families navigating rare disease.
