WHERE DO YOUR DOLLARS GO?
The mission of the MS Society of Canada is to be a leader in finding a cure for multiple sclerosis and enabling people affected by MS to enhance their quality of life. The MS Society is highly efficient by necessity as we receive virtually no government funding. We raise 95% of our revenue independently through personal and corporate donations. As such, we are careful stewards of all donations.
We have extensive oversight and control mechanisms to ensure every dollar raised is used to maximum benefit. In 2011, over $10.8 million was spent on services for our clients (purchasing necessary equipment or financial assistance with services in the home, support and self-help groups, education events, etc.) to improve the quality of life for people living with MS in our communities.
An additional $9.8 million was spent on research to find the cause of and cure for multiple sclerosis. MS Society of Canada fundraising has supported over $142 million in research projects since 1948.
We appreciate your supporting the important work we do to help end MS.
