What is The National Transplant Assistance Fund (NTAF)?
NTAF was started by Dr. and Mrs. Jack Kolff in 1983 after Dr. Kolff had established the heart transplant program at Temple University Hospital. At that time, heart transplantation was still considered experimental in nature and insurance coverage was not always available for the procedure. Many patients were being denied transplants because they lacked financial means. Dr. and Mrs. Kolff had a vision that all people should be able to receive life-saving organ transplants without regard to their financial situations. NTAF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides fundraising assistance to transplant and catastrophic injury patients. They help patients by assisting them with their fundraising, accepting tax deductible donation on their behalf and dispersing those funds through reimbursements of documented expenses related to their transplant. They are independently audited regularly and have been evaluated and highly ranked by several Charity watchdog groups. For more information contact th
