Helping Families Reach the Finish Line

Who We Are

A Public Charity

Bowtie Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) public charity committed to helping families navigate the life-changing journey of cell and gene therapies. While science delivers hope, critical needs related to lodging, meals, and travel often place a significant burden on families. Bowtie Foundation exists to bridge that gap.

Our Mission:

To support families on their complete care journey by easing the financial and logistical burdens of accessing transformative cell and gene therapies.

How We Help

The Challenge

Cell and gene therapies are transforming medicine. By 2030, there will be 150+ curative therapies available. While these one-time, life-changing therapies offer hope for those with rare diseases, rising costs—typically more than $2 million per patient—are leaving families priced out.

The Solution

In a world where profits often dictate care, our partner, Bowtie Therapeutic Benefits, PBC, offers a new model. As a Public Benefit Corporation, Bowtie Therapeutic Benefits is legally committed to access, equity, and compassion above profits. To learn more, visit bowtiepbc.com.

Why “Bowtie”?

A Symbol
and a Promise

Our name is inspired by the Kentucky Derby—a tradition filled with celebration, hope, and community. At the Derby, a bowtie is more than an accessory; it’s a symbol that something life-changing is about to happen. That hopeful spirit is at the core of our foundation.

The journey through cell and gene therapy is a race of its own, requiring preparation and resilience in the pursuit of a finish line that changes everything. Just as each bowtie is tied with intention and care, we provide compassionate support to every family we have the privilege to serve. The bowtie represents our promise to help families reach the finish line.
