Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Broad incumbents

• Multiple Sclerosis International Federation (MSIF): MSIF is the global umbrella organization linking national MS societies worldwide and drives international research collaboration. It operates at a broader geographic scale than Fundación Cemcat but shares the same grantmaking and research-advocacy mission.
• MS Society UK: The MS Society UK is one of Europe's largest MS charities, funding research and supporting people living with MS across the UK. It operates at greater scale but follows the same integrated research-funding and professional-education model as Fundación Cemcat.
• National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS): NMSS is the largest US-based MS nonprofit funding research, driving advocacy, and supporting professional training. It is far larger in scale but shares the same integrated research, education, and donor-fundraising operating model.

Regional players

• Associazione Italiana Sclerosi Multipla (AISM): AISM is Italy's primary MS-focused nonprofit, combining patient services, research funding, and professional training under a similar integrated mission. It is structurally comparable to a scaled-up version of Fundación Cemcat in a neighboring European market.
• Deutsche Multiple Sklerose Gesellschaft (DMSG): DMSG is Germany's national MS association, supporting patients, funding research, and providing healthcare-professional education. It serves a different geography but operates under a comparable integrated nonprofit model in the same disease vertical.

Direct peers

• Esclerosis Múltiple España (EME): EME is the national Spanish federation of MS patient associations, operating in the same disease vertical and overlapping donor and patient communities. It coordinates advocacy and research funding across Spanish regions, including Catalonia where Cemcat operates.
• Multiple Sclerosis Foundation (MSF): MSF is a US-based nonprofit providing programs and services for people with MS and funding MS research. It is a smaller, program-oriented organization with a more limited geographic footprint than NMSS, similar in scale and focus to Fundación Cemcat.
• Fundació Esclerosi Múltiple (FEM): FEM is the founding organization from which Fundación Cemcat was spun off in 2015 and remains a core strategic partner. It is a Catalonia-based nonprofit serving the same multiple sclerosis patient and donor community with overlapping research and education programs.
• Fondation pour l'Aide à la Recherche sur la Sclérose en Plaques (ARSEP): ARSEP is a French research-focused foundation dedicated to funding MS scientific research. It mirrors Fundación Cemcat's grantmaking model focused on advancing neuroimmunology research and professional training.

Others

• European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS): ECTRIMS is the leading European professional society for MS clinicians and researchers, organizing congresses and training programs. It is an ecosystem peer rather than a fundraising competitor, but its professional-training role overlaps with Cemcat's educational mission.
