Grants cover doctor visits, medications, supplements, lab testing, alternative therapies, and transportation to out of the area physicians. In 2025, 250 total grants were awarded: 151 to new individuals and 99 to existing recipients. As most insurance companies do not cover the treatment of chronic Lyme disease, families are typically left on their own to battle the disease, often incurring extreme medical debt. By providing critical treatment, LymeLight bridges the gap of enormous unmet need. Since its inception in 2011, LymeLight has awarded grants totaling $11,426,200 to 1,583 individuals in all 50 states. LymeLight Foundation is dedicated to education the public on the truth and misconceptions about identifying, contracting and fighting Lyme disease. LymeLight Foundation hosts and participates in several Lymeawareness and fundraising events including Dart for Art. Active supporters include Grammy singer-song writer Avril Lavigne. LymeLight benefitted from fundraisers and awareness events hosted by supporters in 29 states. 1440820 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 26 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X X The Organization 6503485509 1229 Burlingame Avenue 205 Burlingame CA 94010 X Scott Bedford Chairman 10.00 X X 0 0 0 Scott Forsgren Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Nora Thomas Board Member/Program Mgr. 5.00 X 0 0 0 Phyllis Bedford Executive Director 40.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 756974 274457 1031431 22166 22166 196301 756974 235293 -38992 -38992 349 0 349 349 1014954 0 0 -16477 X 1194250 1194250 37227 37227 294850 206731 88119 23210 12391 10819 7630 2388 1699 3543 7411 7411 Awareness and Education 17600 17600 Operating expenses 8928 26 465 8437 Supplies 1331 23 1308 1592437 1440820 51518 100099 585822 376282 519503 598998 400000 14250 35758 35732 199447 1555333 1210459 20029 24832 77325 39550 97354 64382 X 992557 1076655 465422 69422 1457979 1146077 1555333 1210459 -577483 265581 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1338297 724671 870869 1212788 1227732 5374357 1338297 724671 870869 1212788 1227732 5374357 2415886 2958471 551 1897 10407 14405 22166 49426 1386 627 349 333 349 3044 5426827 0.54520 0.41660 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 Refundable Advances 39550 39550 X 1311035 265581 30500 296081 1014954 0 1014954 1622937 30500 30500 1592437 0 1592437 Part X, Line 2: The Foundation is a nonprofit organization exempt from federal income taxes under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and Section 23701 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code.
