Unlike any other non profit charitable organization in existence, C.H.A.R.M.E.D., Incorporated was specifically designed to ensure that at least 80% of every donation is used to help the people we are committed to serving, and not used to underwrite the salaries of those enlisted to aid in those pursuits. Furthermore, unlike any other non-profit organization, C.H.A.R.M.E.D., Incorporated is operated solely by volunteers. Would you rather pay salaries or help us find the cure cancer and AIDS? One of our goals is to help underwrite life-saving medical treatment and research throughout the United States for catastrophically and terminally ill children (and adults) battling, but not solely limited to, cancer and AIDS. Further, to underwrite the building of housing for the over 40,000 veterans who are homeless in the very Country for which they fought. Through programs such as Jewelry For Life and the generous financial assistance of those we have partnered with, we are able to thrive in fulfilling our efforts. Too, because of these seamless collaborations, we are proud to boast that we have neither lost a case, claim, nor appeal in the last thirty-five (35) years.
