The Connecticut CFIDS & FM Association Home

Listed Below Are Several Ways You Can Support Our Efforts To Provide Assistance to Connecticut CFIDS & FM Patients.

Community Health Charities:

We are now an associate member of Community Health Charities. Now people can sign up through work to donate to the association. Because we are just an associate member, they will only give us money that was specifically directed to us. People must specify that they want their contribution to go to us.
Although The Connecticut CFIDS & FM Association is not a member agency of United Way, individuals may be able to contribute to us through the Donor Choice program. Check with your campaign worker to find out if your United Way or other employee campaign honors this program and, if so, write in The Connecticut CFIDS & FM Association as your Donor Choice.
Help spread the word. Friends, relatives, neighbors, and co-workers often ask if they can help. Suggest that they consider us when filling out their campaign pledge cards. By contributing to The Connecticut CFIDS & FM Association, you do make a difference!
If you are interested in making a donation to The Connecticut CFIDS & FM Association and your company does not have a Community Health Charities of Connecticut campaign, please call 1-800-344-6071 or visit www.chcct.org to learn more.
