The S.L.E. Lupus Foundation is a wellness and fitness services organization focused on assisting people with lupus, as well as their families and friends, in coping with the daily challenges of living with a complex chronic illness. Based in New York City with a West Coast presence in Los Angeles, the foundation conducts public service campaigns, education programs, and community outreach to promote early diagnosis and to support communities in disadvantaged neighborhoods of New York and Los Angeles. It actively addresses racial disparities in lupus through community-based program models that demonstrate effective management of chronic disease among minority women, and funds lupus research grants and fellowships for new investigators in the New York region and southern California, in collaboration with the Lupus Research Institute to support nationwide research efforts. The organization operates on a small team and serves a broad audience across multiple regions, aiming to provide information, practical support, and opportunities for research involvement related to lupus.
