The primary goals of the foundation are to raise public awareness about congenital CMV, to raise donations to support research for a vaccine for CMV, and to affect change in the medical community so that physicians will begin to test women for CMV prior to pregnancy. Ultimately, our mission is to save babies yet to be born from suffering the potentially devastating consequences of congenital CMV. |

While we don’t have a United Way code, many UWs will accept donor directed donations. Just write our EIN (26-0886244) on the donor designation line – it never hurts to add our name and address if there is room – and in most cases United Way will accept the donation and direct it to us. |
