About the Foundation

The Bow Foundation is dedicated to supporting GNAO1 families, research and awareness.
The Foundation was launched in 2017 by parents of children with GNAO1 disorders. Headquartered in the United States, the Foundation is recognized by the IRS as a nonprofit charitable organization.
