Our annual year-end appeal is underway, and we’re grateful for the generous support during our most important campaign of the year! Your year-end giving helps our planning process for 2017 activities and beyond. With your help, we can continue our important research projects, provide daily support to families in need and continue to raise awareness about Fragile X among professionals and government officials.
Did you know that you can easily double your giving and increase your impact? All you have to do is ask about your employer’s matching gifts program! While programs vary from company to company, most employers will match your contributions dollar for dollar and some will even double or triple the amount of your gift!
It’s super easy to do! Ask your employer, or let us help by contacting us at fundraising@fragilex.org.
There are other ways to give too!
