The National Transplant Fund
National Transplant Fund (formerly National Heart Assist and Transplant
Fund) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to providing financial,
social and emotional support to patients needing organ transplants. The Fund
offers modest emergency grants to eligible candidates to help offset immediate
treatment related costs such as relocation, medications, home care, and
transportation. NTF also counsels patients regarding the location and cost of
transplant centers, other possible sources of financial assistance and
fundraising opportunities within their communities. NTF, since 1983, has helped
raise over five million dollars for transplant patients in 48 states. Acting as
a trustee for locally raised funds NTF assures fiscal accountability and
appropriate distrubution of those funds for medically associated expenses.
The NTF is planning to launch a web site late in January,
1996. Stay tuned to TransWeb for the URL!
