Circle of Care is a unique grant opportunity that differs from Vertex’s rolling grant application process. Circle of Care is a competitive charitable grants initiative that encourages nonprofit groups and academic organizations to submit innovative, patient-centric proposals focused on supporting the cystic fibrosis community worldwide. Like the previous rounds, collaborative proposals and transnational programs are encouraged, with a maximum grant award of $100,000. Organizations that submit requests and are not collaborating with another organization may receive a maximum grant award of $50,000.
Further details on the Circle of Care criteria, eligibility and key project requirements including what we can and cannot fund, and application instructions can be found on the Grants and Giving page on the vrtx.com website here.
Circle of Care requests must be submitted via Vertex’s Request Management System (CyberGrants) by November 14, 2025, 5 PM EST.
Circle of Care awardees are selected by an independent steering committee.
