The Annual Campaign for the FCSN is the core of our fundraising program. Annual gifts support the current organization’s year’s operations and all aspects of programs and services not covered by state and federal funding. Your generosity helps fulfill our mission to provide information, support, and assistance to parents of children with disabilities, their professional partners, and their communities.

If you have a Donor Advised Fund (DAF), you may recommend a grant to FCSN. The agency is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code. Please include your name as the account holder so that we can thank you for your gift.
Corporate matching gift programs can double or triple your gift. Please inform the development office if your employer participates in a matching program.
There are several ways you can fundraise for the Federation. We have created a “toolkit” for your reference. Start your own fundraiser and send in the proceeds to the Federation.
The Federation holds two annual fundraising events that both individuals and organizations can sponsor or donate toward. For more information on becoming an event sponsor for the 2023 Gala, please direct sponsorship inquiries to gala@fcsn.org. For more information on this year’s event, please visit here.
In addition to regular cash gifts, the Federation accepts gifts-in-kind that further its mission and work. Examples of gifts-in-kind include services rendered, such as printing, supplies donated, and event auction items donated.
If you are interested in making a donation of property, such as real-estate, land, art works, vehicles, please contact the Development Office. It is the policy of the organization to evaluate gifts of property on a case by case basis to ensure that the gift can be easily translated to cash for the organization’s operations. Depending on the gift, the Federation may retain outside expertise to evaluate the donation before formally accepting.
For questions about specific ways to support the Federation, please contact Rosalie Rippey, Director of Development at gala@fcsn.org.
