Major Funders & Partners
CHOF is the only Hispanic service organization dedicated to the education, prevention, research and treatment of osteoporosis in the country. In the current ultra-competitive economic environment for support funding, CHOF has experienced the same types of difficulties raising the money needed to continue its programs as other nonprofits.
However, CHOF is different than other foundations in that it provides service directly to the community rather than via third parties. Our collaborations are grass-roots and our research is world-class. We thank our funding partners, who continue to support our mission to provide services and education on local, national and international levels.
Once again, many thanks to our generous donors for both their financial and in-kind support, and to our dedicated volunteers whom have contributed and who continue to support CHOF's mission and the important work we do throughout the state. Your support is vital in sustaining our organization and is deeply appreciated. |
