The Lone Star Chapter teams up with Community Health Charities of America (CHCA) to link generous employees across Texas with the opportunity to support people living with MS through workplace giving programs. For more than half a century, CHCA has partnered with its member health charities in the workplace to enhance the ability to deliver more of every dollar donated into the hands of those who need it.
Workplace Giving Programs provide an easy way for you to make your contributions to help support those living with multiple sclerosis. The National MS Society partners with CHCA in both the public and private sector. You will find our listing under the Community Health Charities Federation. If you don’t find us, ask your employer to add our name.
Public Sector
Federal employees can support the National Multiple Sclerosis Society through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) by selecting the designated code number, #11409, under Community Health Charities.
Other Public Sector employees, such as state, county, or school will also find our local listing numbers under Community Health Charities.
Private Sector
Your company may have an individual corporate gift program or participate through the Community Health Charities Federation or United Way. In most areas we do not participate in the United Way, but you may ask if you can designate your gift to the Lone Star Chapter through the Donor Designation Program.
Matching Gift Fund
Does your employer have a matching gift fund? If so, be sure to speak with them about matching your gift to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Lone Star Chapter.
If your employer has established an Employee Contributions Club that funds local grants, let us know. We will be happy to submit a grant request that will help support the local MS clients.
All gifts made to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society through Workplace Giving are tax deductible.
