Our partnerships help expand what’s possible for individuals and families affected by Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC). AMCSI offers a variety of ways for supporters to engage with our community and make a tangible difference.
Double Your Impact!
Many employers offer matching gifts or payroll deductions for charitable donations. It’s usually as simple as filling out a quick form or searching your company’s giving portal for:
Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita Support, Inc.
EIN: 20-8287870
Platforms like Benevity or YourCause, or direct checks from employers, make sure your match reaches AMCSI. Just ask your HR or giving department to get started.
Your support enables programs that provide critical assistance, covering travel costs for medical care, offering scholarships for students and conference attendees, funding research to advance understanding of AMC, and improving accessibility for children and adults living with the condition.
Whether you are new to AMC or looking for meaningful ways to connect your organization with families and individuals impacted by this rare condition, we offer flexible partnership opportunities that align your support with high-impact initiatives that directly improve lives.
What Are Matching Gifts?
Matching gifts are a way for companies to double or even triple the impact of your donation to AMCSI. When an employee donates, they can request a matching contribution from their employer. The company then makes an additional gift to AMCSI, often matching 1:1, though some employers match at higher ratios like 2:1, 3:1, or 4:1.
This simple step can significantly increase support for families, programs, and research within the AMC community.
Why are company matching gifts valuable?
Company matching gifts are one of the most powerful, and yet often underutilized, forms of nonprofit fundraising. At their core, matching gifts represent free money that’s readily available to organizations like yours. When a donor gives and their employer matches that gift, your nonprofit receives twice the impact from a single donation.
Think of it this way: for every dollar donated, there’s potential for another dollar to follow, without asking the donor to reach back into their wallet. That means your fundraising team can double its results with no added expense.
Why do company matching gifts often go unclaimed?
Many donors aren’t aware that their employers offer company matching gift programs, which means nonprofits frequently miss out on this potential source of funding. On top of that, fundraising teams may not have a full understanding of how matching gifts work, and organizations don’t always know each donor’s employer or the details of their company’s matching policies.

AMCSI was created to provide a constant source of connection, guidance, and community for those affected by Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC). This online platform offers new and soon-to-be parents educational materials about an AMC diagnosis, while also serving as a resource hub for medical professionals—including occupational and physical therapists—to better understand and support individuals with AMC.
Through the network, people with AMC, their families, and care partners can access a variety of resources, join discussion groups, and connect with others who share similar experiences. Members can participate in smaller interest groups tailored to specific needs, such as newly diagnosed families connecting with experienced caregivers, or discussions on therapies, adaptive equipment, and daily living strategies.
AMCSI ensures that support, education, and vital resources are always within reach, helping the AMC community feel connected, informed, and empowered.
