The Dermatology Foundation was created in 1964 by a group of concerned dermatologists in order to advance patient care through research. The nonprofit organization raises contributions from members of the specialty and the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and surgical industries to support a broad-based program of research investigations.

The Foundation is second only to the federal government as a source of funding for dermatologic research that addresses the practice concerns of the entire specialty.
