Mito Foundation Australia is both an advocacy partner AND a potential sponsor for research bounties — their grant program could fund specific LHON tasks. Their dedicated LHON information page (mito.org.au/types-of-mito/lhon/) means they maintain active content for LHON patients and would naturally align with a research-digest partnership.
