The Assistance Fund (TAF) is an independent charitable patient assistance organization that helps patients and families facing high medical out-of-pocket costs by providing financial assistance for their copayments, coinsurance, deductibles, and other health-related expensesal. TAF currently manages nearly 80 disease programs, each of which covers all the FDA-approved medications that treat a specific disease named in the program. Since our founding in 2009, The Assistance Fund has helped over 160,000 children and adults access medicines they need to stay healthy or manage a chronic condition. TAF ensures good stewardship of donations as 94% of expenditures provide direct financial assistance to patients. Because at the end of the day, it’s all about access. Access to treatment. Access to financial assistance. And, perhaps most importantly, access to a higher quality of life.
