Gifts to the FSHD Society through employer-sponsored charitable campaigns make a powerful difference in the Society’s efforts to find treatments for patients, to improve their quality of life, and to help provide hope for a cure through the promise of research.

1. The Combined Federal Campaign: The mission of the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is to support and promote philanthropy through a program that is employee focused, cost efficient, and effective in providing all federal employees the opportunity to improve the quality of life for all. Federal employees and military personnel can donate to the FSHD Society, through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). Please consider making a contribution to the FSHD Society through the CFC. The CFC is operated by the United States Government Office of Personnel Management. For more information about the CFC, please visit the OPM website. The FSHD Society CFC code is #10239.
2. The United Way: Many donors support the FSHD Society through the United Way campaign in their workplace. If you would like to participate in your United Way campaign and help the Society at the same time, contact your company’s Human Resources office to learn about the Society’s eligibility. Often we will need to submit information to the local United Way, and we will be pleased to do that.
3. State employee campaigns: The FSHD Society is a registered charity in all 50 states. We can submit a state campaign application upon request, for state government employees who wish to give through a workplace campaign. Deadlines for applications are usually around February 20, so please make your request well before the deadline.
4. Other Corporate Charitable Campaigns: If your company sponsors or leads other workplace giving campaigns, please consider inquiring about how the FSHD Society might participate.

If you have ever wished that you could do more to help in the fight against FSHD, we invite you to consider including the FSHD Society in your Will or Estate Plan.
