Most activities of the Autoimmunity Research Foundation are conducted fully in the public eye. This forum is a little different, because it is designed for friends and supporters of the foundation to use in focusing their donation and fundraising efforts so they are both efficient and satisfying.
We want to provide an opportunity for folks to easily support this foundation. We thought it was important to provide a way for people to share why the foundation's work is important to them as well as steps they have taken to enhance financial support of the foundation's work so it can expand. We know those stories are best told by you rather than someone else.
We believe many benefactors and philanthropists would prefer that these types of discussions be private, rather than available to everyone over the entire Internet. That is why some of the forums here are private.
