SCID Initiative

The Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF) is proud to announce the creation of a new project, the IDF SCID Initiative. Driven by requests from the Severe Combined Immune Deficiency (SCID) community, this new dedicated fund has been created for the purpose of supporting SCID specific programs which include education, awareness, diagnosis, newborn screening, and the search for a cure. The creation of the IDF SCID Initiative is a new step for IDF, as this is the first disease specific initiative to be proposed by the organization. As another first, IDF has developed an oversight committee for the Initiative fund, comprised of community members with specialized interest and knowledge specific of SCID.

In creating the IDF SCID Initiative, IDF encourages members of the primary immunodeficiency community with an interest in seeing the development of new SCID programs, to step up and contribute specifically to the IDF SCID Initiative. Meeting the aggressive program goals of the IDF SCID Initiative will require community support and resources.

No matter what reason brought you to this website to find information on SCID, I ask that you make a donation to the SCID Initiative. No amount is too small when the need is so great. Your donation can make the difference that saves the life of a child.
