Supporting MSAA's Mission...
through volunteering, fundraising, and donations
The programs and services that MSAA offers are vital, helping to fulfill the emotional, psychological, medical, and physical needs of individuals affected by MS. As a nonprofit, charitable organization, MSAA depends on the generosity of others to fund these important programs and services. Anyone wishing to help with this cause may do so in many ways.
(1) Volunteer: People are always needed to assist with MSAA's programs and services, including support groups, Resource Detectives (individuals researching local resources), speakers, and special events. Volunteer Action Teams (VATs) have been developed to assist in spreading the word about MS and MSAA, provide local services and programs, while raising needed funds.
(2) Fundraising: Throughout the year, MSAA and its regions conduct various fundraising activities to pay for the vital programs and services it provides. Individuals are always relied upon to volunteer at these events and make such fundraisers a big success. Individuals and local groups are encouraged to hold fundraising events as well.
(3) Donations: MSAA exists and continues to expand to serve people with MS thanks to generous support through donations. Donations may be made through:
- Individual contributions (a check or credit card payment directly to MSAA; contributions may also be made through MSAA's website at support.msassociation.org/donate)
- Planned giving (such as bequests and charitable gift annuities)
- Corporate giving (individual contributions along with matching gifts from one's employer; or grants given by a company — sometimes for a particular project)
- Other donations (such as used cell phones, cars, or clothing)
Help or assistance to MSAA in any way is truly appreciated. To inquire about volunteering, fundraising, or making donations, please contact MSAA by calling (800) 532-7667.
