[Non Profit] We Build Online Support Communities for People with Rare Diseases
BensFriends.org is a mission-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a network of online communities that provide support for people affected by rare diseases. It was founded in 2007 by Ben Munoz after he suffered a serious stroke at age 29 caused by a rare condition called an AVM. During his ordeal, Ben realized how online communities could help support those suffering alone. Since then, Ben and his friends have started dozens of communities helping tens of thousands around the world.

Mission
To ensure that everyone with a rare disease has a safe place to go and connect with others like them.

Core Value
Positively impact our members’ lives everyday.

Model
BensFriends.org is bootstrapped and fully supported by donors, sponsors, and advertisers. An army of volunteers help out, no one profits, and all donations go directly to funding the networks.
