Fund Update: PAN Foundation — Spinal muscular atrophy Fund Spinal muscular atrophy fund is currently closed

WHY IT MATTERS

If you have spinal muscular atrophy and need help paying for medications like Zolgensma or Spinraza, you'll need to explore other financial assistance programs since this major funding source is temporarily unavailable.

The PAN Foundation's financial assistance program for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is currently closed and is not accepting new applications. This program previously provided up to $12,000 per year to help eligible patients pay for treatment costs. The fund status changed on April 2, 2026.
