NORD has joined Health 1st - America's Charities, a federation for workplace giving campaigns.
Through this federation, NORD will gain increased exposure
in hundreds of workplace campaigns across the country.
NORD will be present in three sectors of workplace-giving campaigns: Combined
Federal Campaign (CFC #11992) for federal employees (civilian and military);
State and Local Public Sector Campaigns for state, municipal,
county, public schools, colleges, and university employees; and Private
Sector Campaigns for those employed by private corporations or organizations
that conduct payroll-deduction giving campaigns.
Charitable employee campaigns provide an easy way to donate to NORD. Donations
are automatically deducted from paychecks, so there are no checks to write,
no envelopes to address, and no stamps to lick. Simply fill out a campaign pledge
card indicating the amount of your gift and designate NORD as the charity of
your choice. Look for NORD in your employee-giving guide under Health 1st
- America's Charities. If you cannot find NORD or Health 1st - America's Charities
in your guide, contact Susan Olivo, at
solivo@rarediseases.org or
(203) 744-0100 ext. 232.
