Where the Money Goes

As efficient, effective stewards of our donors’ contributions, we make sure that more than 83 cents out of every dollar we raise goes directly to improve the lives of people living with MS through programs, services and research. Approximately 17 cents of each dollar is spent on administration and fundraising—a ratio that is far better than the average of other successful nonprofit organizations. Every day we come one step closer to our goal—a world free of MS.

Every day we learn more about the disease and push for new treatments and programs to help people living with MS. None of it would be possible without the vital funds raised through Bubbles & Brunch to End MS.

Collectively, the MS Dinner Auction and other fundraising efforts have helped accelerate research breakthroughs that change lives and will end MS forever.

• There are more therapies specifically approved for treating and managing MS. And there are more potential MS therapies in development today than at any other time in history.
• MS is more quickly diagnosed, enabling early and sustained therapy to slow disease activity.
• There is much greater awareness of the many symptoms of MS and ways to address them to improve quality of life.
• Scientists are making breakthroughs in identifying risk factors that can increase a person’s susceptibility to MS, which will help lead to ways to prevent the disease.

In addition, we ensure each person with MS can live their best life with more connections to information, resources and others with shared experiences, and the voices of people with MS are heard and drive change wherever it is needed. Learn more at MSpacific.org or nationalMSsoicety.org.
