General Information
Why is fundraising important for EGPAF?
Fundraising is crucial to our mission of ending pediatric HIV and AIDS. With your support, we can raise awareness, engage more people, and ultimately save lives. Your efforts help us fund essential research, provide life-saving treatments, and support prevention programs. Together, we can create a brighter, healthier future for children worldwide.
Where do donations go?
Donations to EGPAF are unrestricted, allowing us to allocate funds to wherever the need is greatest. This flexibility ensures that we can respond quickly and effectively to the most urgent challenges in our mission to end pediatric HIV and AIDS. Your support helps fund vital programs that provide treatment, prevention, and support services to children and families affected by HIV and AIDS.
Are donations tax deductible?
Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) organization, and our federal tax ID number is 95-4191698. Every contribution directly fuels our programs. Your financial contribution is tax deductible.
Can I use your sales tax exemption number?
EGPAF does not authorize you to use our tax-exempt status or our tax ID number to purchase goods or services or solicit donations. You also may not state or imply that you represent EGPAF when seeking donations. You may, however, clearly state to donors that you are seeking donations for a fundraising activity, of which EGPAF is the beneficiary.
How can I stay updated on EGPAF’s work?
Registration
How do I create a team?
There are a couple ways to create a new team. During the registration process, you can join an existing team or create a new one. If you've already registered, log in to your page and click Dashboard, where you'll have the same options to join a team or create a new one.
Keep in mind that the person who creates a team is automatically set as that team's captain. You can change this by visiting "My Team" after you've logged in.
How do I join a team?
If you haven’t registered an account yet, click “Register” at the top of the page and choose the type of dancer you’d like to be. Then create an account, select the team you want to join, and voila!
