A Hearty Thank You! to the IgG4ward! Foundation’s Supporters! & Announcing the Foundation’s “Double the Hope” Campaign igg4ward
In its first two years, IgG4ward! has strived to spread hope, connection, and education for people living with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). We have vigorously pursued our aim of being a trusted source of truth for patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers at this exciting time in the history of this disease.
We have not and could not have done it alone. Rather, the generosity of many individuals and organizations across the spectrum of the IgG4-RD community has allowed us to create resources, amplify voices, and build a community dedicated to improving the lives of IgG4-RD patients and their families.
We are therefore proud to recognize every donor who has supported The IgG4ward! Foundation since its launch in November of 2023. Please find the full donor list at the end of this announcement. Thanks to all of you for your support.
The “Double the Hope” Campaign
As we prepare to begin IgG4ward!’s third year on November 15, we are excited to launch a major fundraising effort: the “Double the Hope” Campaign.
The theme: GIVE HOPE. GET IT DOUBLED.
The Double the Hope Campaign has been made possible by the generosity of an anonymous donor to the Foundation. From October 1, 2025 until December 31, 2025 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time, every donation to IgG4ward! – up to a total of $150,000 – will be MATCHED by the donor 1:1.
In short:
Every dollar you donate to the Foundation becomes TWO
Every $50 gift becomes $100
Every $1,000 gift becomes $2,000
Every $5,000 gift becomes $10,000
Why donate to IgG4ward! now?
During DOUBLE THE HOPE, your generosity will go even further in supporting:
New and improved educational programming. Big plans ahead in 2026
Resources that are critical to navigating this rare, chronic, and potentially debilitating
Stronger connections through the global IgG4-RD Community, through the sponsorship in-person events and virtual jamborees (JAMs)
GIVE HOPE. GET IT DOUBLED.
Donors Who Have Made Our Work To Date Possible
We offer grateful thanks to everyone – individuals, families, and organizations – who have contributed to IgG4ward! since our launch. Your belief in our mission continues to pave the path 4ward.
