About the National Gaucher Foundation
The National Gaucher Foundation (NGF) was established in 1984 as a non-profit, tax exempt organization dedicated to supporting and promoting research towards the cause, treatments and a cure for Gaucher Disease. Our mission has expanded to promote education and awareness, fund financial programs vital to the Gaucher community and to meet the ever-increasing needs of individuals with Gaucher disease and their families.
The NGF offers financial assistance programs and a wide-range of resources for the benefit of the Gaucher community. In an effort to promote community/physician awareness and educational programs, the NGF holds live Web meetings, conferences, patient meetings and seminars, publishes a quarterly newsletter and has both national and regional marketing programs.
The NGF offers a variety of services and programs including regional chapter meetings, patient support groups, international conferences, as well as the CARE Program and the Care+Plus Program which provide critical financial assistance to individuals with Gaucher Disease. The NGF also publishes a quarterly newsletter featuring informative columns about exercise, medical questions, personal stories and research updates. There is a $35 membership fee which entitles members to a 12 month subscription to the Gaucher Disease Newsletter, discounts on conferences and seminar registrations, and all NGF publications and materials.
