In 1997, a pioneering group of patients, caregivers, and families informally united to offer mutual support. By 2001, this collective became the officially named National Leiomyosarcoma Foundation, attaining its 501c3 status. Since 2002, the NLMSF has actively funded research. Today, we are proud to be distinguished as a 100% trusted organization by Charity Navigator, hold a Guide Star Gold designation, and are consistently recognized as a ‘Top Rated Charity’ by Great Nonprofits.”
