National Alopecia Areata Foundation

The National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF), is a 501(c) organization (Federal Tax ID is 94-2780249). Headquartered in San Rafael, CA, NAAF supports research to find a cure or acceptable treatment for alopecia areata, supports those with the disease, and educates the public about alopecia areata. NAAF is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and a prestigious Scientific Advisory Council. Founded in 1981, NAAF is widely regarded as the largest, most influential and most representative foundation associated with alopecia areata.

In 2013, the National Alopecia Areata Foundation was selected to participate in The Giving Library, a groundbreaking initiative that connects donors to nonprofit organizations through online video interviews. The library’s intent is to allow potential donors and philanthropists to make more strategic giving decisions by viewing the work of selected nonprofits.  We believe this video educates the public about the Foundation and about alopecia areata.
