About
FMDSA The Fibromuscular Dysplasia Society of America, Inc. was founded on March 11, 2003 and received tax exempt status on October 7, 2003. The FMDSA is a Delaware nonprofit corporation which is classified by the IRS as exempt under IRC Section 501(c)(3) and as a "public charity" under IRC Section 509. Therefore, donations from individuals and corporations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. Our vision is to become the recognized leader in the support of Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD) awareness, education, and research. We will achieve our goal by successfully raising money for the purpose of awarding FMD research grants, building awareness programs, and educating the public and medical communities about FMD. We are a voluntary, not-for-profit organization and programs like these can not succeed without your support. Through volunteerism, membership, financial contributions, and event participation, the FMDSA can fulfill our vision and improve the quality of life of those affected by Fibromuscular Dysplasia. The annual reports detail our accomplishments throughout the year and a summarizes our financial results as reported in IRS Form 990. The Annual Reports are in Adobe Acrobat. Adobe Acrobat Reader comes preinstalled on most computers. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can download a copy by clicking the "Get Adobe Reader" button below. The FMDSA website is completely funded through donations from the general public and we do NOT accept direct funding for our website from outside corporations. All content is unbiased and written by medically trained and qualified professionals. Any advice offered from a non-medically qualified individual or organization will be clearly stated. We will from time to time recognize corporate sponsors that have donated services or prizes to FMDSA events and programs. Any such recognition will be well defined as a "sponsor" and easily identifiable from the information provided or gathered by the FMDSA. We reserve the right to revise this policy at our discretion. Please check back on this site as this policy may be revised from time to time without notice to you. GAP - Grassroots Awareness Program One of the major goals of the FMDSA is to educate healthcare professionals about Fibromuscular Dysplasia. As you know, FMD is a relatively rare disease and little is known about it among the physicians and other medical professionals that we depend upon for our care. We believe that the most effective way to reach the medical community is face-to-face. We have developed a campaign that will allow volunteers to provide three to four people they know in the healthcare field with a packet of information about Fibromuscular Dysplasia. Each packet will include our brochure, an FMD Facts pamphlet, FMDSA pens, and FMDSA post-it notes. We will also include instructions on how to make you successful in this campaign.
Volunteers can distribute this information to nurses, medical technicians, family practitioners, specialists, and even your dentist. The point here is to make a connection between you and your medical team that will benefit both of you.
This campaign is for anyone who wants to participate, not just FMD patients or those in the medical field. We do ask that every member of FMDSA become involved in this important campaign. For more information or to volunteer, please contact us FMDSA |
