The Foundation for Prader-Willi Research (FPWR) welcomes gifts through workplace giving campaigns, including the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), employee matching gift programs and other special fundraising drives.

If you are a government employee, or if your company conducts its own annual workplace giving drive, then designating FPWR to receive your workplace contributions is another important way to support Prader-Willi Research and FPWR.

If you are a government employee, you can support FPWR through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), which runs annually, September 1st - December 15th. Use our CFC code number --> 41543 <-- to designate FPWR as your payroll deduction beneficiary. If you would like any further assistance with this, please Contact Us.

Matching Gifts: Your company may offer a matching gift program which would double your donation for Prader-Willi research.
