Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, a nonprofit donor-supported organization, is to assure the development of the means to cure and control cystic fibrosis (CF) and to improve the quality of life for those with the disease.
The Foundation is the leading organization in the United States devoted to cystic fibrosis. It has more than 80 chapters and offices nationwide and supports a network of more than 115 accredited CF care centers which provide patients and families with vital treatment and other CF resources.
The Foundation is one of the most efficient organizations of its kind. In 2005, nearly 90% of every dollar of revenue raised was available for investment in CF research, care and education programs. The National Institutes of Health and many prominent publications, including Forbes and USAToday, have heralded our innovative business model, which fuels drug discovery and development programs.

NRDC
GOVERNMENT CAN CURB GLOBAL WARMING POLLUTION
After a four-year court case, the Supreme Court ruled today that carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping emissions are "air pollutants" under the Clean Air Act, and that the U.S. government has the authority to start curbing them.
No element of the natural world is more essential to life than air, and no environmental task more critical than keeping it clean. Because electric power plants and motor vehicles are by far the biggest sources of air pollution and its myriad effects, from lung damage to acid rain to global warming, NRDC focuses much of our clean air work on those industries. We also work to strengthen and enforce the Clean Air Act, which we helped write, and study and publicize the health threats caused by air pollution.
ASPCA
The ASPCA was founded in 1866 as the first humane organization in the Western Hemisphere. The Society was formed to alleviate the injustices animals faced then, and we continue to battle cruelty today. Whether it ’s saving a pet who has been accidentally poisoned, fighting to pass humane laws, rescuing animals from abuse or sharing resources with shelters across the country, we work toward the day in which no animal will live in pain or fear. Come and join us in the fight to end animal cruelty—become an ASPCA Member today! |
