• The National Amputation Foundation (NAF) has for over 50 years been offering valuable assistance to veterans of World War I, II, Korea, the Vietnam Conflict, Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom. The new civilian amputee has become a major concern to the Foundation. Unlike the new veteran amputee who is generally a male and relatively young, the new civilian amputee is older and includes many female amputees. The amputee population has been increasing due to accidents, (this category includes both young and old and male and female) diabetes, cancer and vascular conditions. We have found that in many cases the civilian amputee suffers a greater psychological trauma than the young soldier.

The Foundation has no promoters, solicitors, or professional fundraisers. The Foundation's revenues are derived from an annual golf outing, where a foursome is made up of 1 amputee golfer and 3 able body golfers. While this fundraiser continues to be an important source of income, funds are urgently needed to continue to expand the vital services of the NAF. The Foundation is asking for aid on behalf of all amputees. The men and women who have suffered and those who will be suffering the amputation of limb or limbs, need to know that there is an organization, the NATIONAL AMPUTATION FOUNDATION, who stands willing and ready to help them to help themselves to become well-adjusted citizens, who live normal useful lives.
