Your dollars at work

Thanks to the generous donations of many of individuals and companies, in Fiscal Year 2010-2011, the National Psoriasis Foundation:

• Stepped up efforts to find a cure for psoriatic disease by investing nearly $1.8 million in research;
• Began distribution to researchers of DNA samples from the National Psoriasis Victor Henschel BioBank;
• Spearheaded introduction of the Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Research, Cure, and Care Act of 2011 (PPARCCA) in Congress;
• Helped approximately 70,000 people through our health education programs and services;
• Expanded our reach and generated local support by forming community divisions across the U.S.;

During the fiscal year, we deepened our commitment to fighting psoriatic arthritis, which affects up to 30 percent of people with psoriasis. Among our efforts:

• We formed the Joint Smart Coalition with the Arthritis Foundation to provide an educational resource for people with psoriatic arthritis and other related inflammatory conditions;
• We funded research projects that focused solely on psoriatic arthritis, awarding grants totaling $400,000;
