To improve quality of life for everyone affected by tuberous sclerosis complex by catalyzing new treatments, driving research toward a cure and expanding access to lifelong support.
A separate fiduciary organization, Tsc Alliance Endowment Fund Inc receives gifts that are invested to generate an income stream for the TSC Alliance mission. That mission centers on tuberous sclerosis complex: advancing research toward a cure, improving clinical care and access, and expanding lifelong support for people affected by the condition. The fund’s recent support has flowed to the National Tuberous Sclerosis Association in Silver Spring, Maryland, with three program-support grants recorded in the latest grants data. Those awards show the endowment’s role as a source of ongoing mission funding rather than a one-off project sponsor. The organization’s grantmaking sits alongside research, support services, and education priorities tied to TSC, including clinical trials, a natural history database and biosample repository, patient and family support services, and advocacy. Leadership is listed as Kari L. Rosbeck, and the fund operates from Silver Spring while giving only to recipients in Maryland in the data on file.
A central theme is sustained support for the TSC Alliance mission itself. In 2025, Tsc Alliance Endowment Fund Inc gave $239,000 to the National Tuberous Sclerosis Association for program support, following a $308,000 grant in 2023 and a $572,625 grant in 2024 to the same recipient. Beyond operating support, the broader grantmaking framework includes research and clinical activity tied to tuberous sclerosis complex. The fund’s active programs reference postdoctoral and early-stage investigator research awards, clinical research consortium support, and biosample-repository seed grants. It also connects to patient-facing work through support services and education, reflecting a mix of research infrastructure and mission delivery.
Grant sizes cluster in the low hundreds of thousands: the 25th percentile is $273,500, the median is $308,000, and the 75th percentile is $440,312. The pattern in the recent grants data is recurring rather than isolated, with the same Maryland recipient appearing in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The fund is a separate endowment vehicle that receives gifts and invests them to produce income for mission support. It is listed as making program-support grants, with project-specific and restricted funding noted in the foundation profile.
