The Aplastic Anaemia Trust's largest source of funding, over our whole history, has always been our community - people who have been affected by rare bone marrow failure conditions, who want to improve treatment, support and care for other patients and families.
We also receive funding from some brilliant grants and trusts, and from industry (pharmaceutical companies).
We don't receive any funding from the government.
On this page, you'll find information about the wonderful people and organisations who are currently funding our work. If you have any questions about how we are funded, don't hesitate to get in touch with us, you can email Ellie our Head of Fundraising at [email protected].
We're so grateful to be currently receiving funding from these brilliant funders...
Thanks to players of The National Lottery, who provide funding that enables our collaboration with other charities to support people with ultra rare genetic forms of bone marrow failure, and fund events that help us bring all our patients and families together.
Provide funding towards our support of children with aplastic anaemia and their families, including the recent revamp of our online content for children.
Provide funding towards our support services including online and in person events and psychological support.
We are also very grateful to a range of smaller trusts and organisations who provide funding for specific projects, often funding our support for patients in their local area.
We pride ourselves on delivering real value for grant funders. Our lean, expert, little organisation delivers impressive impact for every pound. We have a robust governance structure with Trustees supported in their decision making by inclusive patient consultation processes and an expert clinical advisory panel. We put thought and care into our reporting, including detailed data and insightful stories from the people you're helping.

Thank you so much to these donors for funding this game-changing work.
