WELCOME

TO THE

NATIONAL VITILIGO FOUNDATION

The National Vitiligo Foundation offers a wealth of current, accurate, and easy to understand information about vitiligo. We strive to enable people with this disease to make the best choices for themselves and their families, and to serve as a one-stop resource for both the medical and scientific community.

Why become a member of the Foundation? Your membership empowers us to serve as a collective voice to implement our mission of increasing awareness, patient services, and research for vitiligo. When we stand united as thousands, we become a powerful force for change.

Why donate to the Foundation? Your tax-deductable contribution is needed to support research focused on treating vitiligo and on finding a cure, to help with development of educational materials for the public and the medical profession, and to help the Foundation advocate for changes in government funding and insurance coverage. During its 24 year history, the Foundation has awarded nearly 1.5 million dollars in research grants because of the generosity of its members. Please consider making a donation so that the NVF can continue making a difference in the fight against this disease.

"The National Vitiligo Foundation offers the vitiligo patient the assuredness that they are not alone and that a reputable organization is working hard to fund better treatments and eventually a cure. So many live with this disease without a sense of hope and often feeling alone. They are ecstatic when they discover the NVF is staffed with dedicated people who passionately care about their well-being. The NVF has proactive programs and services that truly do offer hope and that improve the well-being of vitiligo patients everywhere."
