Fundraise

FAST organisations around the world come together to raise funds to support our common goal of a cure for Angelman syndrome in the annual CAN (Cure Angelman Now) Campaign.  Recognising that the last few years have been a tough environment to fundraise,  two generous sponsors have contributed so that we can offer an amazing prize of a trip to the United States to visit  FAST-funded Drs. Albert Keung and Amay Badnonkar at North Carolina State University, who are harnessing the power of organoids for AS research. This amazing trip will be drawn from the top ten fundraisers in the period July 1 2019 – December 31, 2022.

    From time to time, business and philanthropic organisations have competitions or grant rounds where you may be able to nominate FAST, or we may be able to apply for a grant to fund some of our programs. In 2014 FAST Australia received $10,000 from the Dick Smith Foundation in an online competition, then US $50,000 in the Microsoft UpgradeYourWorld Challenge (and FAST United States won a massive US $250k in an online voting competition!)
