National Vitiligo Foundation, Inc.

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.
