Driven By Purpose
Accelerating Treatments, Supporting Lives
The Fairfield Fund exists because no person with Usher Syndrome should face progressive vision loss alone. We work toward a future where treatments are available, support is accessible, and every individual has the tools to live fully and independently.
We are committed to supporting both scientific discovery and the organizations that improve the lives of patients living with Usher Syndrome today.
Our Priorities
Mission and Values
The Fairfield Fund accelerates progress for Usher Syndrome — the leading genetic cause of deafblindness — while supporting the lives of those affected now. With a focus on Usher Syndrome 1B, we invest in research, communication access, mental health, and independence-building programs.
Accelerating Treatments
We fund scientific research and medical programs that are believed to slow, stop and reverse the progression of vision loss caused by retinitis pigmentosa. We focus on both gene agnostic and MYO7A specific approaches.
Supporting Lives
We support those living with Usher Syndrome through mental and emotional health assistance; enhancing access to language & communication; and fostering independence through mobility and assistive solutions.
