Services

NTAF works with families and volunteers throughout the United States to establish successful grassroots fundraising campaigns in honor of individuals facing transplantation or for persons who have sustained a catastrophic injury (i.e., spinal cord or traumatic brain). Funds raised are sent to and held by NTAF in regional restricted funds to which patients apply for assistance. Funds are administered by NTAF and disbursed upon application and demonstration of financial need.
