General Donations
Thank you for supporting the National Lymphedema Network. We are a 501 (C)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1988 to provide education and guidance regarding lymphedema management to patients, healthcare professionals, and the general public.
Patient Education
The NLN disseminates information and education on lymphedema both in print and online. This campaign contributes towards the costs necessary to continue providing these materials to those living with lymphedema, including the informational booklets and the NLN Position Papers.
The NLN is currently looking for donations to update and reprint the Patient Information Booklets that were last printed in 2017. These booklets are provided free of charge to anyone who requests them through our website, including directly to the general lymphatic community and clinicians who then provide the booklets as a resource for their paitents.
NLN Garment Program
The National Lymphedema Network proudly offers complimentary, medically necessary compression garments to people with lymphedema who experience financial hardship. It’s estimated that 3-5 million Americans have lymphedema. With your support, the NLN can continue to provide these necessary items to those living with lymphedema.
In Honor Of
This donation is made in honor of your family member, friend, or healthcare professional for any occasion. This includes their birthday, anniversary, life event, thank you, or “just because.” The NLN will send a letter to that person about your donation along with your personal message. Your donation will have a positive impact on the National Lymphedema Network’s mission of providing education about lymphedema to the community.
In Memoriam

We deeply appreciate your kindness and support during this difficult time. Thank you once again for your compassion and generosity. Your gesture will make a difference, and we are truly grateful.

NLN Conference Scholarship Program
Most healthcare organizations no longer have educational funds, or if they do, it does not nearly cover the cost necessary to attend educational events. The conference scholarship program seeks to provide funding for clinicians in the lymphatic community to attend our annual conferences to learn about emerging research, enhance their manual skills, and explore new topics in the field of lymphology.
Additional Giving Options
Community Fundraising
Raise awareness and support the NLN by organizing a community fundraiser – whether it’s a group event, a gathering with family and friends, or an educational initiative with your clinical network. Every effort helps expand our reach and deepen our impact.
