Company Profile
International FOP Association
Company Overview
The International FOP Association is a 501c3 non-profit organization supporting medical research, education and communication for those afflicted by the rare genetic condition Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP).
Founded in 1988 by Jeannie Peeper, a woman with FOP, the IFOPA was originally established because Ms. Peeper wanted to bring people with FOP together. Today, the organization has grown to include members across the globe. The IFOPA also supports FOP research at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine at a rate of more than $500,000 annually and is a source of invaluable support and comfort to those who suffer from FOP.
Our mission is to fund research to find a cure for FOP while supporting, connecting and advocating for individuals with FOP and their families, and raising awareness worldwide. Our vision is a cure for FOP, accessible worldwide.
