The Endometriosis Research Alliance
Through this initiative, Our Daughters Foundation collects and administers pooled research funding from participating organizations and donors, allowing smaller contributions to be combined into meaningful investments in endometriosis research.
By centralizing funding and directing it toward promising research initiatives, the Alliance creates a pathway for grassroots organizations to contribute to scientific discovery and progress.
Endo Excision for All supports this initiative by helping connect organizations, advocates, and researchers working toward improved outcomes for people living with endometriosis.
Why This Initiative Matters
Endometriosis affects an estimated 1 in 10 women and girls globally, yet research into the disease remains significantly underfunded.
Many nonprofit organizations working in the endometriosis space raise funds through community-driven efforts. While these contributions are meaningful, they are often not large enough individually to support major research initiatives.
The ODF/EEFA Endo Research Alliance helps address this challenge by pooling resources and directing them toward impactful research opportunities.
Through collective funding, the Alliance can support research that advances:
Understanding of endometriosis biology
Earlier and more accurate diagnosis
Development of better treatments
Improved patient outcomes
How the Alliance Works
The Endometriosis Research Alliance provides a collaborative structure for nonprofit partners and donors who want to support endometriosis research.
Through this initiative:
Our Daughters Foundation collects and manages pooled research funds
Funds are directed toward promising endometriosis research initiatives
Nonprofits can participate without needing to independently fund full research projects
Grassroots fundraising efforts can contribute to larger scientific investments
This model allows organizations of all sizes to participate in advancing research and accelerating progress.
The Role of Endo Excision for All
Endo Excision for All supports the Alliance by helping connect organizations, advocates, and researchers working toward improving outcomes for people living with endometriosis.
Through these connections, the initiative can identify research collaborations and opportunities that may benefit from pooled community support.
Endo Excision for All does not fund research through this initiative.
All financial assistance programs operated by Endo Excision for All remain dedicated to helping patients access excision surgery, the gold standard treatment for endometriosis.
Research funding for the ODF/EEFA Endo Research Alliance is collected and distributed by Our Daughters Foundation.
