Mission

Established in 1984, the National Gaucher Foundation (NGF) is 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. 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 has funded millions of dollars in research dealing with various enzyme replacement therapies and alternative treatments.
