National Foundation for Celiac Awareness Charity Profile

The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to finding a cure for Celiac Disease.

NFCA, a national organization, is affiliated with the leading researchers in the US who are working toward this goal. The Foundation will support collaboration and partnership among scientists and institutions to optimize research potential. We have created an expert panel and competitive grant-making process to fund cutting edge research in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

National Foundation for Celiac Awareness Volunteer Information

The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness truly values its volunteers! Nearly 700 people from all parts of the United States are helping the NFCA raise awareness of celiac disease and the gluten-free diet. Whether they are hosting cupcake parties or distributing the “Do I Have Celiac” brochures, they are the single biggest factor in the success of our national awareness campaign.

Everyday more and more of the 3 million Americans who have celiac disease are learning what the disease is, getting tested for it and getting diagnosed. But our work isn’t even close to complete and we always need more help. After all, 95% of the people who do have celiac are undiagnosed.
