Global Lyme Alliance is the leading nonprofit dedicated to conquering Lyme and other tick-borne diseases.

Our Mission: Cure Lyme and other tick-borne diseases through innovative research, awareness, and empowering the patient voice.

Our vision: A world free of Lyme and other tick-borne diseases.

We have three pillars of our mission:

Research

The funds we raise are distributed after great deliberation to support researchers at accredited universities conducting evidence-based research. Our grant-making criteria give precedence to those programs and researchers whose work is most likely to deliver publishable results that will advance the scientific knowledge of tick-borne diseases and ultimately a cure.

Education & Awareness

GLA offers the general public and physicians significant education and awareness initiatives, including the Lyme Education Ambassador Program (LEAP), an interactive school curriculum, a camp awareness program, and a CME-accredited medical education program for healthcare professionals.

Patient Services

GLA is here to support Lyme and tick-borne disease patients and caregivers at every stage of their journey. Whether you are searching for answers and resources, looking for a Lyme-treating physician, want information on clinical trials, or want to connect with fellow patients, GLA is here to help.
