You don’t need a gala ticket to fund a breakthrough🧬

Each year, our community comes together through Fund-a-Scientist to power the research moving us closer to better treatments—and a cure—for glaucoma. It’s a collective moment where donors rally alongside one another to fuel the bold ideas of scientists working to stop vision loss and neurodegenerative disease.

From wherever you are, you can stand with this community and make an impact. During Glaucoma Awareness Month, every gift to Fund-a-Scientist is matched dollar-for-dollar thanks to our partners at , doubling your support for life-changing research.
