FIGHTING FOR POSSIBLE ON BEHALF OF FAMILIES DEALING WITH THE IMPOSSIBLE
Our Mission
Take Part Foundation is a 501(c)(3) that allows anyone to “take part” in fighting for possible. We identify existing medical research for rare pediatric conditions that likely will not be able to find funding elsewhere, and fund it until it reaches the point where the research team can apply for funding from larger organizations and foundations. Take Part is also committed to assisting and equipping families who have a little warrior with a rare medical condition by giving them a platform to share their story.
Join our family and Take Part in our fight for possible for kids and families all over the world.

Our Founders
Matt and Maria Granados are the parents of 4-year-old Natalie, who suffers from a genetic disorder called PYROXD-1. They are a family of faith—and a family of action. They’re tired of waiting for answers that likely will not come in time to save their daughter. They’ve been called to create the Take Part Foundation to fund research that can help find answers for Natalie and others like her.




Board of Advisors
Every project that is funded by the Take Part Foundation is evaluated by our board of advisors which ensures thoughtful oversight. Our distribution of funds is based on a thorough review of the project plan, validity of the theory and the likelihood that the findings will help accelerate medical advances more children can live to see a solution for their fight.
Our Partners
Take Part Foundation does not have any formal partnerships beyond our current projects. However, we find that most of the children and families we support have come to us through the National Organization of Rare Diseases or the Undiagnosed Disease Network . Because we serve children who are stuck between diagnosis and prognosis, we are a great landing place for anyone trying to find answers when science lags behind what’s needed for a cure to save lives.
