You Belong Here
We're building a community dedicated to supporting families impacted by rare disease — and we're looking for brands, businesses, and individuals who want to help make those families feel seen.
Join the Mission
Rare diseases affect 1 in 10 Americans — yet the families living with them often feel invisible. Care for Rare exists to change that. We walk alongside families at every stage — welcome boxes for the newly diagnosed, comfort kits for hospital stays, sibling support, parent navigation, community events, and everything in between.
When you partner with us, you are not writing a check into a void. You are funding a box that arrives at a family's door during one of the hardest seasons of their life. You are putting your name beside a cause that is deeply personal, highly underserved, and genuinely meaningful.
Our partners are mission-aligned organizations, businesses, and individuals who want their support to be felt — not just counted. If that sounds like you, there is a place for you here.
Ways to Get Involved
Giving doesn't have to look one way. Here are some of the ways people are getting involved with Care for Rare — find what fits you.
Donate products — contribute an item that goes directly into a welcome box or care package for a family
Gift cards and financial donations — help cover hospital meal costs, parking, and the everyday expenses families face during medical crises
Social media collaboration — share our stories, amplify our mission, help rare disease families feel seen by a wider world
In-kind services — photography, graphic design, printing, fulfillment, and other services that help us operate and grow
Host an event or fundraiser — bring your community together around a cause that touches 1 in 10 of the people in the room.
Partnership Opportunities
Whether you're a maker with a single product to donate or a brand ready for a full collaboration — there is an opportunity for you.
CARE BOX PARTNER Perfect for small businesses, makers, and product brands
You donate a specific product that goes directly into our welcome boxes or care packages. Your item lands in the hands of a family who needs it — with your name attached. This is one of the most direct, tangible ways to support our mission. Families open your product on one of the hardest days of their lives.
CAUSE COLLAB Perfect for brands who want a creative partnership with a purpose
You create a limited edition product — a candle, a piece of jewelry, a tote, a seasonal item — and donate a portion of proceeds to Care for Rare. Co-branded, awareness-driven, and something your customers can hold that represents their support. This is the "Rare Collection" model: your brand, our mission, real impact.
COMMUNITY PARTNER Perfect for local businesses, restaurants, salons, studios, and community organizations
You host an event, fundraiser, or give-back night in support of Care for Rare families. A percentage of a night's sales, a ticketed event, a pop-up — whatever fits your business. You bring your community in. We bring the mission. Together, it becomes something people talk about.
MISSION SPONSOR Perfect for businesses, foundations, and individuals who want to fund the work directly
Financial support that goes directly to operating and growing the Care for Rare mission — welcome boxes, care packages, family programs, and everything it takes to keep showing up for families. One-time or ongoing. Any amount. This is for anyone who believes in what we're building and wants to be part of making it real.
Sponsor a Welcome Box
One Box. One Family. One Moment That Matters.
You don't need to be a brand or a business to make a difference. Sponsoring a single welcome box or care package is one of the most personal ways to support a rare disease family. Every box is filled with comfort items, practical resources, and a message that says: someone out there sees you and is rooting for you.
Boxes can be sponsored in honor of someone, in memory of a loved one, or simply because you want to help. We'll let you know when your box is on its way to a family.
