The Bone Marrow Foundation

Our Mission

The Bone Marrow Foundation, founded in 1992, is dedicated to improving the quality of life for bone marrow, stem cell and cord blood transplant patients and their families by providing vital financial assistance, educational information, and emotional support programs. Transplants treat over 70 life-threatening diseases including cancers and genetic disorders. The Foundation works with transplant centers nationwide and is the only organization of its kind that does not limit assistance to a specific disease, type of transplant or age range. All of The Foundation’s services are offered free to patients and their families.
