Funding
"The Foundation is funded by membership dues and contributions from families and friends. Dues constitute less than half the income. Because the FMS Foundation is a 501(c)(3) institution, contributions are tax deductible. Several small foundation grants have been used to support professional advisory board seminars and three major conferences. The Foundation's staff is small, and the organization could not exist without volunteers who devote significant time and effort. A financial report is available in the FMSF office."
