Donate To Save A Life
We provide vital resources, including emotional guidance and financial assistance to travel for life-saving treatment. Our mission extends beyond direct family support— we conduct education and awareness activities for medical providers on the front lines of diagnosis, and help fund critical research conducted by VOGM.
Other Ways to Donate
Matching Gifts
Many companies offer matching gifts for donations made to eligible non-profits by their employees. Check with your employer to see if your donation can be matched to further the impact of your donation.
Birthday Fundraisers
Birthday Facebook fundraisers are becoming more and more common. You can help us by choosing the vein of Galen Malformation Support Network from the list of nonprofits as your birthday fundraiser.
Pre-Tax Pay Roll Deductions
Some organizations allow you to donate pre-tax income to charities. If your workplace offers this, it is an easy way to help.
Coin Collection Boxes
Ask a store or business that you visit frequently to let you keep a coin collection box at the front of their store to collect coins for the VOGM cause.
Where will your Donations Go?
Financial Support for VOGM Families
Most of our donations go directly to families in the form of assistance for families who travel for treatment, as well as the full sponsorship of families in underdeveloped countries for out-of-country treatment.
Education & Awareness
We expend funds to raise awareness of our organization for VOGM families who need our support and the medical providers who specialize in VOGM treatment. We also work to raise awareness by medical professionals of the VOGM diagnosis and the proper steps to take to get patients access to early intervention, which leads to more succesfful outcomes. Education and awareness expenditures include attending industry conferences, producing and distributing brochures, website/social promotion, etc.
Operational Costs
At the moment, we're a small organization, and our operational costs are low. We will use no more than 10% of the donated money for operational expenditures.
