The Vasculitis Foundation is a nonprofit organization that pursues early diagnosis, advanced treatment, research, and a cure for all forms of vasculitis. It supports patients by delivering education and raising awareness, and it informs families and health care professionals about the condition. Vasculitis refers to a family of rare autoimmune diseases characterized by inflammation of the blood vessels, which can cause organ damage if left untreated. Based in Kansas City, Missouri, the foundation provides a suite of resources, including a detailed website, a bimonthly newsletter, medical consultants, symposiums, webinars, chapters, and support groups to educate patients and their circles. In October 2024, it announced the launch of a support group for young adults. Overall, VF operates with a modest staff and focuses on education, outreach, and collaboration with the medical community to improve diagnosis and management of vasculitis.
