Crohn’s and Colitis Canada

Cohn’s and Colitis Canada is the only national, volunteer-based charity focused on finding the cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and improving the lives of children and adults affected by these diseases. We are one of the top two health charity funders of Crohn’s and colitis research in the world, investing over $135 million in research since 1974, leading to important breakthroughs in genetics, gut microbes, inflammation and cell repair as well as laying the groundwork for new and better treatments. We are transforming the lives of people affected by Crohn’s and colitis (the two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease) through research, patient programs, advocacy, and awareness.

Everything that we do is centred on improving the lives of children and adults living with Crohn’s and colitis, and ultimately finding cures. For more than 46 years, Crohn’s and Colitis Canada has led the way in giving Canadians affected by these diseases hope for a cure, support and education, and a community that understands.
