Who we are

The National Gaucher Foundation (NGF), a non-profit organization established in 1984, has funded millions of dollars toward the cause, treatments and cure for Gaucher Disease. We are an objective, independent voice of the Gaucher community, dedicated to providing leadership, outreach and innovative thinking. We offer a wide range of programs and resources to meet the ever-increasing needs of individuals and families affected by this disease.

What we do

The NGF funds research, grants financial assistance, promotes education and awareness, supports legislation and provides vital programs. Through our National Gaucher Care Foundation, the CARE Program and the Care+Plus Program, we extend critical financial assistance to individuals with Gaucher Disease. Supporting medical and lay-community outreach, we host live Webinars, national conferences and patient forums. Additionally, our national and regional marketing programs promote ongoing awareness of Gaucher disease.
