Fundraising is a process — a journey. Like any journey, it begins with a plan.

Need advice on Fundraising?

We've put together a Fundraising Made Simple Kit that includes:

• a letter from FARA president, Ron Bartek
• letters from families who have raised money for research
• suggestions for types of fundraisers (just suggestions — plan whatever suits you)
• info on support FARA can offer you (let us know what you need)
• general suggestions for fundraisers
• a FARA brochure that can be utilized for your event
• sample brochures from past events
• a sample personal letter for letter writing campaign

Download the Kit: DOC or PDF

If you wish to have a hard copy mailed to your home, please contact FARA at fara@CureFA.org with your name and mailing address. We will be happy to mail a binder to you.

Ready to make some plans for a fundraising event?
We respectfully request that all individuals wishing to organize a FARA fundraiser complete a Fundraising Proposal Form as soon as possible, prior to their event. This will allow us to assist you in the planning process, and also helps us comply with IRS regulations for non-profit organizations.

Thank you for wanting to work alongside FARA to raise funds for Friedreich's ataxia research. We are so grateful. Please contact Marilyn Downing, FARA Board Secretary, at mdown4@aol.com for the appropriate forms.
