Our Members

CCFA's members are the lifeblood of our organization, creating community, support and awareness for IBD patients and their families. Currently we have over 50,000 members, served by our national headquarters, as well as over 40 chapters nationwide. As CCFA is not a government-supported agency, we rely on the support of members and donors to continue our work.

Find out more about joining CCFA as an Individual / Family or Professional member.

CCFA's membership program reaches at least one out of every 18 patients, compared to the Arthritis Foundation with one out of every 85, or the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, with one out of every 435. Additionally, over 37% of U.S. gastroenterologists are CCFA physician members.

The more members we have, the stronger our voice is in advocacy efforts nationwide. IBD is a debilitating health issue faced by one million Americans, as well as by their families and friends. We are grateful to our members for joining with us to face IBD together rather than alone.
