Major Funders & Partners
CHOF is the only Hispanic service organization dedicated to the education, prevention, research and treatment of osteoporosis in the country. In the current ultra-competitive economic environment for support funding, CHOF has experienced the same types of difficulties raising the money needed to continue its programs as other nonprofits.
However, CHOF is different than other foundations in that it provides service directly to the community rather than via third parties. Our collaborations are grass-roots and our research is world-class. We thank our funding partners, who continue to support our mission to provide services and education on local, national and international levels.
