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.

The NGF has funded millions of dollars in research dealing with various enzyme replacement therapies and alternative treatments.

The NGF relies on the generosity and kindness of individual supporters. Would you consider making a tax-deductible contribution at this time?
