At the VRF, we believe knowledge is one of the most powerful tools for change. That’s why we launched the Vitiligo Library Grant Program in 2019—to provide trusted, accessible information about vitiligo to communities that need it most.

Each year, we select up to three eligble non-profit organizations to receive:

• $500 worth of books from VRF and affiliated authors
• An additional $500 to purchase books by independent authors

This year, we’re proud to award grants to three remarkable organizations: the Vitiligo Association of Uganda, the Vitiligo Society of Kenya, and an organization in the Caribbean, which has requested anonymity for now. Each of these groups is leading vital efforts to educate and support their communities, creating a brighter future for those living with vitiligo.

This program is just one part of VRF’s broader mission. From donating books to youth correctional facilities in New York City to collaborating with global organizations, we are dedicated to spreading awareness and fostering understanding. It all began with VITFriends, our first recipient and collaborator, and has since grown into a global initiative.

This important work is only possible because of supporters like you. Every donation helps us deliver valuable resources to vitiligo communities around the world.
