Hospitals that want cards for their patients, companies that want somewhere useful to put a sponsorship, and organisations working on the same condition. Here is what each of those actually looks like.
Detailing for MCAS is run by students in more than a hundred chapters. There is no development department and no account manager. A partnership is an arrangement with a specific chapter or with the organisation directly, and it is usually small, concrete and ongoing rather than a signed campaign.
Money raised goes to mast cell activation syndrome research and patient support. Cards go to patients at 39 hospitals in nine countries. What the work has added up to since 2021 is counted on the impact page, and the programmes themselves are set out under our service programs.
If what you want is to send volunteers rather than resources, that is the volunteer page instead.
Hospitals, research institutions, advocacy organisations and companies that have partnered with Detailing for MCAS.
If you treat MCAS or rare disease patients, the most common arrangement is simply that we send cards and care packages to your ward and your staff hand them out. That is how all 39 current hospitals started.
The useful version of a corporate partnership here is usually goods or a sponsored event rather than a cheque with a logo attached — chapters run on supplies, venue space and printing.
MCAS is under-researched and badly recognised; most of what we can usefully do with another organisation is make the same case twice as loudly, to two different audiences.
Detailing for MCAS is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIN 39-3685339, based in Hoffman Estates, Illinois and operating since 2021. Donations and in-kind contributions are tax-deductible in the United States.
If your organisation has to do due diligence before it commits, the record is public. The Candid profile carries the transparency filing, and ProPublica’s Nonprofit Explorer has the Form 990 data.
One thing worth saying plainly before you plan around us: this is run by students. There is no full-time staff, replies come from people who are also at school, and a first partnership usually works best as one event or one delivery rather than a year-long programme. Our story covers how that came about.
