The Dermatology Foundation® is the premier professional nonprofit dedicated to investing in the future of dermatology. Since 1964, we’ve supported emerging investigators and advanced the science that drives the specialty forward.

To date, the DF has awarded more than 2,600 research awards, investing over $92 million in dermatologic research—made possible through the generosity of our members, supporters, and volunteers.

This investment in research is paired with cutting-edge education, ensuring dermatologists have the tools and knowledge to provide the best care for patients today—and tomorrow.

Founded by eight leading dermatologists and scientists, the Foundation began with a shared belief: to move dermatology forward, innovative research must always be supported. Today, the DF is a thriving community of researchers, clinicians, and educators united in a common mission—to fund discovery and innovation that improve patient care in every community we serve.

As a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we remain committed to our vision to save skin and save lives.
