MDC Changemakers are dedicated supporters whose monthly gifts offer ongoing and meaningful support, allowing MDC to better plan throughout the year and make an even greater impact in the lives of Canadians affected by neuromuscular disorders.
By becoming an MDC Changemaker, you are helping to drive our work forward and make a lasting impact on the neuromuscular disorder community in Canada. Your monthly gift – of any amount – goes toward ensuring that people affected by neuromuscular disorders have the tools and resources they require, as well as, the opportunity to develop skills, make connections and advocate for the services they need to live a full and rich life. With a monthly gift, you are also investing in important research and advocacy, which help diagnoses happen sooner and improve access to new treatment options.

- A dedicated staff member to answer your questions and provide support whenever you need
- A members-only webinar, focused on research updates
- Email-only quarterly updates to share impact statistics and good news stories
- An annual report highlighting how your support of MDC has impacted the neuromuscular disorder community
- A single, consolidated tax-receipt for the full amount of your monthly donations throughout the year
