The Arthritis & Autoimmunity Research Centre Foundation (AARC Foundation) is a registered charitable organization dedicated to raising, managing and investing funds for research into arthritis and autoimmune disorders. This large family of illnesses afflicts over 4 million Canadians.

Our mission is to build strong, long-term relationships with donors, volunteers, researchers, caregivers and the community, to achieve philanthropic support for Canada's largest and most comprehensive centre of experts dedicated to finding a cure for these illnesses.
