Mission Statement
IFAA WORKS TO ELIMINATE THE ADVERSITY ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE AUTOIMMUNE AND AUTOINFLAMMATORY DISEASES WITH ARTHRITIS AS A MAJOR COMPONENT. WE DO THIS BY USING OUR ROLES AS PATIENTS TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEMS, AND OUR EDUCATIONAL AND BUSINESS BACKGROUNDS TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT SOLUTIONS.
Description
IFAA is not like any other nonprofit. We are patients who use our background experience in business development, project management, education, and research to identify and solve community problems. Also unique to IFAA, is we are highly project based (rather than raising funds for an overall mission), so we constantly are joining forces with other community leaders, nonprofits, advisors, and subcontractors to ensure we produce the best outcomes possible. From the way we have created our unique organizational model that puts the patient at the heart of all we do to implementing projects that are changing the landscape of healthcare, we are leading the way for 'next generation nonprofits'.
