Leadership & Staff

The compassionate, professional staff and board at NTAF is dedicated to improving the quality of lives of transplant patients and individuals living with catastrophic injury, nationwide.  For 26 years, NTAF has been the financial link to transplantation and recovery– facilitating grassroots fundraising campaigns all across the United States to help patients and families afford critical but uninsured expenses related to transplant, spinal cord injury or traumatic brain injury.  NTAF's efforts have resulted in $64 million raised for patients' out-of-pocket medical expenses, and thousands of changed lives.
