Help us lead the fight against autoimmunity!

As we reflect on our 30-year history, we recognize that where we are today would not be possible without your generous support. Formerly the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA), we are now simply the Autoimmune Association, but we are still the same organization leading the fight against autoimmune disease by collaborating to improve healthcare, advance research, and support the community through every step of the journey.

Thanks to your generosity, the Autoimmune Association has been a guiding force for the autoimmune community in navigating the challenges brought on by the global pandemic. Despite these challenges, we have found new ways to foster collaborations that elevate the diverse and powerful voices of individuals living with autoimmune disease.

Please help us improve the lives of those affected by autoimmune disease by making an online gift today to support our Annual Appeal. With your donation, you can help us in leading the fight against autoimmunity.
