Our 2018 grant application is now uploaded on our “Grants” tab. It is also being included here in this post. If you are unable to open or print it please email us at staci.smas.npo@gmail.com. She will ensure that you get a copy of our application. Health and Human Services has released the 2018 federal poverty guidelines and that has been updated on our website as well, but I am including it in this post for quick viewing. Our nonprofit provides grants to those who fall within the 300% income column.
The 9th Annual SMAS Awareness Day is January 28th. We ask that everyone learn one fact about Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome and teach one person about SMAS. If you do this, please post on your facebook #SMASAwareness We are trying to make it go viral this year and need everyone’s help. We also ask that everyone wear purple and post a photo of themselves in purple with the same #SMASAwareness Our facebook page will have more information and facts that you can share with your friends and family. www.facebook.com/smasras
