Contributions help keep programs and services operating at peak strength. We depend on donations such as yours to:
- Fund the ICA Pilot Research Program, which “opens the door” for many researchers and enables them to collect the data required to obtain government grants to further explore the causes and treatments of IC
- Gather and disseminate news and research updates via the ICA Update, ICA eNews, and email blasts
- Expand the ICA website (www.ichelp.org) and keep this free, online resource current
- Tweet about scientific meetings and other IC community happenings (www.twitter.com/ichelp)
- Maintain the ICA Facebook page where patients can get support and discuss the challenges of living with bladder pain, urgency and frequency
- Ensure that Congress and the National Institutes of Health understand the issues that are important to you, and continue to provide critical research funding for IC leading to treatments and, eventually, a cure.
