following to learn more and make a donation online, by phone, fax or by

CHADD, 8181 Professional Place, Suite 150, Landover, MD 20785
2. General
Contributions: Your gift will lend important, tangible support
to the spectrum of programs, services and operations of CHADD.
3. Tributes and
Memorials: In this way, you can celebrate accomplishments,
anniversaries, and birthdays of a family member, co-worker, or other
person in a personalized way. You can also commemorate the memory
of a loved one or friend through a memorial donation.
4. President’s Council: Founded in 2001,
the CHADD President’s Council accepts annual membership donations
of $5,000 and higher to support specific CHADD educational projects that
might not otherwise be possible and general operations. The
Council currently supports the CHADD Parent to Parent Family Training on
AD/HD Program and the newly rewritten Educator’s Manual on AD/HD,
and the Council has an annual dinner meeting at the CHADD Annual
Conference.
 
5. Workplace Giving: Through workplace giving programs,
such as United Way, the Combined Federal Campaign (CHADD number 11773:
Federal employees should use this number when pledging their 2008 CFC
workplace giving donations to CHADD), and many other state
government, municipal, corporate and institutional employee campaigns,
people can designate CHADD to receive payroll gifts or deductions.
Typically these programs enroll employees in the fall and winter, with
deductions beginning in January. Donors should ask employers or HR
departments whether they have Matching Donation programs. Often
employers will match charitable donations dollar for
dollar.
6. Matt Cohen
Membership Support Fund: Named in honor of former CHADD
President Matthew Cohen, this fund provides the means whereby people who
need access to CHADD programs and services but because of personal
financial circumstances cannot afford to join, can apply to receive a
one-year individual membership provided by CHADD without charge to
them. This is part of CHADD outreach and needs annual
replenishment.
7. Young Scientist
Research Fund: This emerging endowment was established by CHADD to
raise funds to encourage and reward innovative research by new medical
and scientific practitioners or graduate students about AD/HD. The
first awards are being presented at the 2006 CHADD Annual Conference,
with an award stipend presented to each
scholar/researcher.
