The American Asthma Foundation is the only national organization focused solely on asthma and the only advocacy group with a mandate to promote government funding to eliminate this disease.
Planned Impact
Though asthma is a major public health problem, surprisingly, it is still poorly controlled.
We will raise funds to:
- Support the best scientific minds from diverse fields to investigate the causes of asthma and find a cure
- Help people who suffer from the disease
- Call attention to the social and emotional costs of this disease
- Press the federal government to increase funding for research
