American Liver Foundation

The American Liver Foundation (ALF) is a national non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention, treatment, and cure of liver disease. Established in 1976, its core mission is to facilitate, advocate, and promote education, support services, and research in the field of liver health. The organization's headquarters are located in Fairfield, New Jersey.

ALF provides a comprehensive range of services, including educational programs for patients, families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals, advocacy for patient rights, and funding for medical research. Key initiatives include the "Think Liver Think Life" public health campaign, the "Living Donor Network" which connects potential donors with transplant centers, and the "Bili the Brave" program aimed at children. The foundation also offers a national toll-free helpline, online support groups, and resources for finding liver transplant centers and specialists.

In recent leadership news, David Frank was elected as the new Board Chair in March 2026, joining CEO Lorraine Stiehl in guiding the organization. The ALF continues to be active in public health, recently applauding a report on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and hosting events like FLAVORS 2026. As the nation's largest patient advocacy organization for liver disease, ALF is recognized as a trusted voice, reaching over four million individuals annually with health information and support.
