The National Alopecia Areata Foundation is a California-based nonprofit focused on alopecia areata, an autoimmune condition that causes hair loss and related emotional distress. It aims to accelerate research toward a cure and accessible treatments while providing support and education to those affected. The organization delivers its mission through three core program areas—support, awareness and advocacy, and research—and shares progress in annual reports and newsletters. Founded in 1981 and headquartered in San Rafael, California, NAAF serves individuals with alopecia areata, their families, medical professionals, researchers, and policymakers. Governance is provided by a volunteer board of directors, with guidance from two Research Advisory Councils, underscoring its emphasis on governance and transparency. A notable recent development is the February 2026 launch of the Confidence Guide by its support group network.
