Diabetes Charities of America is committed to supporting the high-impact national charities most likely to hold the key to eradicating Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. We help our member charities raise the mission-critical funds they need by providing the following services:
- Strategic positioning: The Diabetes Charities of America federation helps you attract the donations you need to fulfill your mission of providing the best research, treatment and prevention support for individuals with diabetes and related diseases, disorders and conditions. Charities that participate in the CFC as a member of a federation receive far more donations on average than those that enter the campaign as independent organizations. As one of only 45 approved national/international federations, we help donors from across the country and overseas find you. By joining Diabetes Charities of America, you will be prominently represented in all CFC campaigns, and can tap directly into the enormous generosity and motivation of the many thousands of donors who care about preventing or curing diabetes.
- Admissions support: Federal requirements for admission to the CFC are stringent, and assembling a successful application can be challenging. Without knowledgeable guidance, more than half of first-time applicants fail to win federal approval. We have an extremely strong track record of success in winning approval for charities to participate in the CFC at the national level, and have developed a set of straight-forward templates that work. We will work hand-in-hand with you to complete and submit a successful application.
- Increased visibility: Becoming a member of Diabetes Charities of America allows your charity to be listed thematically with other prestigious national, mission-similar organizations. Your organization will also be presented to the four million federal, military and postal workers who are asked to to donate to the campaign--a tremendous public relations/public awareness opportunity.
- Fiscal management services: We act as your fiscal agent and process the thousands of individual donations coming in campaigns operating in all states and abroad over a period of 18 months. We consolidate all donation data, track pledges, and distribute donated funds to you on a quarterly basis throughout the year by check or electronic fund transfer (EFT).
- Marketing support: We assist you in presenting your organization for maximum success in the CFC through marketing guidance and support. Our team has won numerous awards for fundraising campaigns, and have helped propel charities into the top 5% of CFC beneficiaries.
- Automatic notification of promotional events: We alert you to speaking opportunities, kick-off events, government charity fairs, and other occasions when you can directly meet potential federal donors. We also represent you in the very largest of these kick-off events, which take place in in the National Capital Area of DC.
