CHERUBS Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Charity - Make A Tax Deductible Donation
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Family Support Fund
CHERUBS
CDH
Family Support Fund was created to help meet the support needs of
families affected by Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.
CHERUBS helps families in 38 countries on a shoestring budget of less
than $20,000 per year and no employees. We subsist off of
donations and fundraisers.
Software for our projects such as the calendar, volunteer organization, word processing and more
CHERUBS does a
lot
for CDH families and the CDH community and we incur quite a few costs
during so. Just 1 newsletter mailing is now over $3000 for
printing
and posting with so many members - and they only go to a percentage of
our members. A newsletter mailing to all of our members
would cost over $15,000 - most of our annual donations. Our
conferences are also
expensive. Our monthly expenses are several hundred dollars
for ink,
postage, web site hosting fees, fax number, etc. It takes a lot
to
fund an organization with over 3000 members.
Remember, no one
at
CHERUBS gets paid and we have no office so every penny directly helps
CDH families. And all of our services are FREE so we do charge
membership fees. Only 2% of our members donate annually so we
depend
on public donations quite a bit. And the occasional grant as well.
A small percentage of this fund (along with a portion of the CDH Family Assistance Fund) will go to the CDH HOPE Totebag project, a new
program that helps new and expectant families by supplying them with
items needed during their cherub's neonatal period.
