Lupus Foundation of America

The Lupus Foundation of America (LFA) is the largest national non-profit voluntary health organization dedicated to finding the causes of and cure for lupus and providing support, services and hope to all people affected by lupus.

The LFA was established in 1977 with the combination of several local lupus organizations. Since then, the LFA has evolved into the largest non-profit lupus organization with nearly 300 chapters and support groups nationwide. The LFA supports lupus research, education, advocacy and support services on the federal, state and local levels.
