About

For 75 years, The National Bleeding Disorders Foundation (NBDF*) has championed research, education, and advocacy for inheritable blood and bleeding disorders. NBDF is dedicated to finding better treatments, preventative measures, and cures for inheritable blood disorders. Founded by patients in 1948, the foundation's impactful programs and initiatives are made possible through the support of a nationwide network of chapters, as well as individuals and partners, and a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Learn more at bleeding.org.  (*The organization rebranded to NBDF in August 2023. Previously, the organization was known as the National Hemophilia Foundation or NHF since 1948.)
