The National PKU Alliance works to improve the lives of families and individuals associated with PKU through research, support, education and advocacy, while ultimately seeking a cure. The NPKUA was formed in 2008 by parents, grandparents, and individuals across the country just like you. We are the first national non-profit organization to unite adults, families, regional and statewide PKU organizations, the medical community and PKU-friendly businesses to make a difference in the lives of people with PKU.

The purposes of the Alliance are:

1. To advance research relating to the treatment and/or cure of PKU by:
 - raising and distributing funds
 - establishing a Research Development and Review Committee
 - assisting in the creation of databases that will be shared with the international  community
 - providing publicity for products that will benefit individuals with PKU

2.  To support local PKU organizations by:
 - encouraging and assisting in the development of new PKU organizations
 - working with local PKU organizations on fundraising and educational campaigns
 - acting as a liaison among local PKU organizations in order to encourage networking
 - identifying treatment issues and working on possible resolutions

3. To educate others about PKU and the issues faced by individuals and families by:
 - communicating best practices for treatment and other information to health care providers
 - creating communication pieces and other material for use by local PKU organizations and others
 - encouraging children and young adults to stay on diet
 - sponsoring national and international conferences
 - providing current information to PKU organizations about recent developments in treatments and products

4.  To advocate for all individuals with PKU by:
 - working toward the enactment of PKU friendly legislation
 - seeking coverage by insurance companies for treatment
 - aligning with support groups for related metabolic disorders to promote common goals
