How we work with charities
We collaborate with charities to increase the likelihood of medical innovations reaching patients.
With a 25-year track record and a highly experienced team of experts, we help charities to maximise their funding for patient benefit.
Our charity partners can access our range of services including technology transfer and intellectual property (IP) support and expert advice on how best to progress your project towards commercial success.
We help charities to:
Progress existing assets
If you already possess a research portfolio with significant potential, we can help you unlock this and explore funding and partnership opportunities to progress it.
Increase their funding impact
We can help you understand the IP and translational potential of your funding portfolio, ensuring funding is directed towards science with the highest potential for patient benefit.
Enhance their translation skills
We provide guidance and support around technology transfer and IP, including grant terms and conditions, negotiation of payment deals and IP training workshops.
We work with a wide range of charity partners, both within and beyond our Translational Challenges.
How we can support your journey
How can LifeArc help a charity, patient advocacy group or a patient advocate?
We enable and accelerate translation and patient impact from charity funded projects. We can signpost to relevant organisations within our extensive networks, as well as provide translational advice and support with best practice development, translational strategies, and technology transfer.
I have just started my own charity and need help navigating the rare disease ecosystem. How can LifeArc assist?
We can signpost and help connect you to a range of relevant stakeholders, including other charities and industry partners, to support your journey in the rare disease ecosystem.
How can LifeArc help charities increase their funding impact?
We assist charities in developing translational strategies and sector-wide best practice relating to funding terms and conditions to maximise their impact and advance research goals.
What kind of support does LifeArc offer for existing research portfolios?
We can assist charities in understanding the translational potential of their existing portfolio by reviewing projects and advising on key next steps to help progress them closer towards the patient.
What services can LifeArc offer our charity in relation to translational skills and understanding?
We provide guidance and support with various aspects of intellectual property and commercialisation, including offering expert guidance and IP training workshops.
What our charity partners say about us
“We have learnt an enormous amount through working with LifeArc, and value their uniqueness of being able to philanthropically help other charities create impact for patients, rather than doing so for commercial gain. Whatever comes next, LifeArc is a reliable partner and has been at DEBRA Austria’s side for 10 years.”
Rainer Riedl, DEBRA Austria
