Project GRFT works to enable and empower people around the globe to create a means of first line defense against infection by viruses and protect themselves from the resulting sickness and death that we have become all too familiar with since 2019.
How can a viral outbreak be prevented from becoming a pandemic?
A solution to this problem lies in developing antivirals that prevent infection by different viruses and variants of viruses. We have found compelling evidence of such an antiviral in griffithsin, or GRFT.
The purpose of our project is to develop nontoxic raw materials, worldwide and at low cost. This will make it possible for people around the world to produce GRFT as a means to protect themselves when confronting the risk of existing or future outbreaks of viral infections.
Scientists actively working as volunteers on project GRFT since 2020 hope to make a future world witout pandemics a reality.
Project GRFT is very pleased to announce that on the 4th of June, 2025 we entered into a partnership with Omprakash. Since 2004, Omprakash has built a global network of people and organizations working to make the changes needed to create a better future for dwellers on planet earth. As of today, Omprakash includes 267 partner organizations and 39,704 people in 58 countries. We're certain these numbers will keep growing. Omprakash is truly a force for encouraging innovative thinking combined with worldwide communication. They are open to sharing the visions of a brighter future for the world we live in and are creating advanced models for educational opportunities to meet the needs of the 21st century.
We'll be making some changes to better interface Project GRFT with Omprakash, including onboarding new volunteer applicants through their website.
We will also be accepting donations to Project GRFT via Omprakash, our fiscal sponsor. Omprakash is a 501(c)3 nonprofit and will provide documentation to donors that can be used when filing income tax. Donations can be made now on our donation page.
We plan to start fundraising for specific needs directly on the Omprakash site.
