Can I designate my gift to a specific disease?

The Chronic Disease Fund continues to expand into a variety of diseases requiring the use of specialty therapeutics. For each disease, we maintain specific, segregated funds.

Non-specific donations are placed into a General Disease Trust and may be used to supplement any program or any specific disease trust.
