Lupus Foundation of America
 United States  / District of Columbia  |  Research/Dev

We are dedicated to finding the causes of and cure for lupus and providing support, services and hope to all people affected by lupus.

Lupus affects more than 1.5 million Americans, and at least 5 million people worldwide. The LFA was established in 1977 when local lupus organizations came together to bring national attention and resources to lupus. Since that time, the LFA has evolved into the field’s preeminent nonprofit lupus organization with nearly 300 chapters and support groups nationwide. The LFA plays a key role in bringing together all stakeholders, researchers, clinicians, elected officials, policy makers, industry leaders, other national organizations, and people affected by lupus, to address lupus on the federal, state and local levels. We do this through advancing the medicine and science of lupus, creating awareness of the disease, advocating on behalf of all people with lupus and supporting people with lupus and their professional health care providers.
