Three Lakes Partners

Three Lakes Partners is a philanthropic funder focused on pulmonary fibrosis, a lung disease that few people know about. The work grew out of a family's personal loss, which led them to set up the Three Lakes Foundation. It directs support to diagnosis, research and care, mainly with the United States in view.

What Three Lakes Partners offers

• Diagnosis funding — backs projects that cut the delays many patients face before receiving a correct diagnosis.
• Research support — funds studies aimed at speeding up the development and delivery of new therapies.
• Early detection work — supports the use of imaging to spot the disease sooner.
• Care and outcomes — works with experts and institutions to improve treatment and results for patients.
• Field partnerships — teams up with researchers, medical institutions and like-minded groups in the pulmonary fibrosis community.

Who it works with

The group partners with researchers, medical institutions and patient-focused organisations. Its wider aim is to influence how quickly change happens for people living with the disease.
