Usher Syndrome Society
Financials
The Usher Syndrome Society is committed to managing all donations with responsibility and transparency, ensuring each contribution is directed to its intended purpose, whether that be a specific subtype, research initiative, or awareness campaign.
The Usher Syndrome Society is the only organization dedicated to advancing treatments for all types of Usher syndrome. Your support makes it possible to identify potential therapeutic targets, develop innovative approaches, conduct essential preclinical studies to assess safety and effectiveness, initiate clinical trials, and support the process of bringing new treatments into clinical practice.
The Usher Syndrome Society takes all contributions seriously and we carefully track all donations to ensure they are used for their intended purpose. We undergo an annual independent audit as required by law, and our IRS Form 990 is available on our website through Candid.
