Grants Funded
The Oxalosis and Hyperoxaluria Foundation (OHF) is proud to be the largest nonprofit provider of grants for hyperoxaluria research in the world. Since 1989, The OHF has raised and committed more than $40 million for hyperoxaluria research, and has funded over 60 grants. Our dedicated researchers and scientists are leading groundbreaking research all over the world to find better treatments for hyperoxaluria, and we will not stop until a cure is found for this disease.
