Overview
Mission
Bamboo Ranch is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting children and families affected by neuroimmune conditions such as PANS, PANDAS, and autoimmune encephalitis. We provide financial aid for essential treatments like IVIG, advocate for equitable insurance coverage, and empower families through education, research collaboration, and community programs promoting awareness and access to care.
What it reported doing in 2024
Bamboo Ranch is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes to support children and families affected by neuroimmune conditions, including PANS, PANDAS, and autoimmune encephalitis. The organization provides direct financial assistance for medically necessary treatments, such as IVIG, that are often denied by insurance. Through advocacy and education, Bamboo Ranch promotes awareness, advances equitable access to care, and collaborates with clinicians, researchers, and policymakers to improve outcomes. The organization also supports caregivers through guidance programs, peer connections, and youth leadership initiatives, helping families navigate these complex illnesses with knowledge, hope, and community.
