About The Assistance Fund
With a leading technology platform and best-in-class Patient Advocates, TAF can quickly and efficiently respond to patient requests for assistance. Since its founding in 2009, we have helped nearly 135,000 children and adults access the treatment they need to stay healthy or manage a life-threatening, chronic, or rare disease.
Our mission is to provide underinsured people living with life-threatening, chronic, and rare diseases access to critical treatment through financial assistance, education, and advocacy.
Our vision is to see the day when no person goes without treatment because of an inability to pay.
