ASTMH Fund Raising Gets Recognition, Boost from National Organization

Our Society’s charitable giving program got a boost recently with word that ASTMH has been cleared to participate in the 2010 Combined Federal Campaign. ASTMH will appear this fall under the federation listing for the Health & Medical Research Charities of America (HMRCA). This exciting news carries with it several key benefits for the Society.

For one thing, acceptance into the Combined Federal Campaign – more commonly known as the CFC – means that our members and friends employed by the U.S. federal government can donate to the society through payroll deduction as part of their regular workplace giving. Certification as a HMRCA member also means that ASTMH was simultaneously certified by Independent Charities of America (ICA), a nationally recognized association of the best of U.S. charities.

The ICA represents charities that meet the highest standards of public accountability and program effectiveness. It operates several fund raising programs, in which ASTMH can take part, including campaigns of a few U.S. for-profit corporations. Perhaps best of all, ASTMH has earned the right to claim the title “Best in America” as certified by Independent Charities of America, which (according to ICA) places ASTMH among the top five percent of U.S. charities when it comes to stewardship of donor dollars.

Watch for information about CFC activities as the fall 2010 campaign draws near.
