Donate to research

In 2009, the Board of Trustees of the National Psoriasis Foundation elevated the importance of research in its five-year Strategic Plan. Under the goals in that plan, the Foundation will award $3 million annually for research by 2014. That's a 12-fold increase in research funding. It has one purpose: to cure psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis sooner.

You are the key to the Foundation's success in reaching this goal. The Foundation can only do what its members and donors make possible through their generous giving. If research and a cure for psoriasis are important to you, please review more details about the Foundation's two research campaigns.

Discovery Fund

The Discovery Fund focuses on funding research in four important categories: immunology, genetics, skin and join biology, and associated health outcomes such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer that affect people with psoriasis at a higher rate than the general population. Donate now >>>

Alyssa's Fund

Alyssa's Fund supports research to identify the immune cells involved in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The discoveries that come from this work will make treatments safer and more effective, and ultimately will result in a cure. Donate now >>>
