You Can Double or Triple Your Donation

Do you know if your employer has a matching gift program? These programs are a form of corporate philanthropy where businesses match the donations their employees make to charitable organizations. Some employers have programs that double or even triple charitable contributions made by employees. Contact your human resources department to find out if your employer sponsors a matching gift program or use the search bar below to see if your employer will match your donation.

Workplace Giving Made Easy

Workplace giving is a simple and effective way for you to support the Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA). Your payroll deduction through Community Health Charities, the Combined Federal Campaign, United Way, and matching gift opportunities through your employer will help fund BIAA’s vital programs and services. Read more about ways to give below or email us if you have specific questions.

Combined Federal Campaign

Federal employees can donate to BIAA through the Combined Federal Campaign. Designate your contribution to the Brain Injury Association of America, CFC ID #11839. To learn more about the CFC, click here.

State and Local Municipal Employees Campaigns

Similar to the Combined Federal Campaign, many state and local governments have workplace giving programs that allow their employees to make payroll contributions to charitable causes.

United Way

Every year, millions of employees get involved in workplace giving campaigns to support organizations that improve lives around the country. If your workplace participates in a United Way campaign, you can designate BIAA as your preferred organization. Use the United Way’s Donor Choice Program pledge form to make your donation. Contact your human resources department or your local United Way office for more information about giving through your workplace.

"I do everything anyone can do. I am not what happened to me."

"So September 17, 2017, was a day that I will never forget. They shot Michael in the left side of his head."

Before reaching out to her local brain injury association and finding an ABI support group, Melissa had nowhere to turn for advice.

“Suddenly memories from the day before seemed like they were decades ago,” says Melissa Shuman, who has come to live with the reality of brain injury after her son, Justin, sustained an acquired brain injury (ABI) following an attempt at suicide.

Recollecting on the first few days of her son’s fight to live, Melissa made it clear she felt like she was fighting just as hard.

“I had been rushing to find out all of this information on my own while he was in a coma. It was exhausting, but who else was going to do it? That’s a mother’s job.” In addition to learning information, Melissa became Justin’s primary caretaker. She spent her days coordinating nursing, therapies, feeding, bathing, and everything else in the living room of their home. “I think I scared myself more than anything, and the doctors didn’t have too much hope, so after a while I had to stop and just believe he would get better, and advocate for what would be best for him.”

In the first several months following Justin’s injury, the Shuman family experienced a great deal of change. They did have health insurance, but had difficulty getting many of the services Justin needed covered without a battle. Like so many others in similar positions, Melissa became an expert in fighting with her insurance company and with the agencies providing services to her son. Justin was not a candidate for inpatient rehabilitation because his medical needs required he be sent to Long-term Acute Care (LTAC), which is essentially a step-down from a hospital’s Intensive Care Unit. Instead, Melissa demanded Justin come home, and spent weeks preparing and retrofitting the living room of their home to ensure his ability to live there.

“Bringing Justin home was not an easy quest, and I had no idea where to seek insight on what, how, and when to make the transition,” Melissa explained.

Melissa is enormously appreciative of the online brain injury support group to which she belongs. “It’s an A-B-I group,” she laughs, “Not TBI! TBIs are welcome, but we make sure everyone else is, too. That’s been good for me, to know I’m not alone, and Justin wasn’t alone, and even that my other children are not alone and that someone can relate to what we are going through. A lot of people, actually, relate to what we go through.”
