Dear APF Member,

The American Porphyria Foundation has worked tirelessly for nearly forty years to increase awareness, educate physicians, drive research, support patient programs, and advocate on behalf of our members. None of this could be accomplished without your valuable support of time, talent, and treasure. Your continued support has sustained the mission of the APF.

We won’t stop…and we hope you won’t either!

Please consider a donation to the American Porphyria Foundation.

We have accomplished so much yet there is so much more to do for each type of Porphyria.

The APF…

Manages thousands of calls every year from patients and physicians
Sends hundreds of Physician Education Packets and Patient Education Kits each year
Hosted over a dozen patient education meetings across the country last year
Collaborates daily with our Scientific Advisory Board and the experts of the Porphyrias Consortium
Connects patients with knowledgeable physicians across the US and internationally
Educates members on clinical trials and research studies
Advocates on behalf of members with national rare disease groups, at medical conferences, with legislators, and government organizations
Maintains a strong social media presence
Gains media attention
Supports patients with disability issues, reimbursement, access to treatment, pain management, diagnosis, informational materials….
… and sometimes we simply hold a hand or share a friendly voice in a time of need.

The suggested annual donation is $35.00.

We welcome any donation, though please remember that membership is complimentary.

Together, we can continue to be a force for improved porphyria healthcare and research.

With heartfelt thanks for your ongoing and terrific support!
