Mission

The mission of NEVER STOP NEVER QUIT is to raise funds, support treatment, and promote awareness in the fight against multiple sclerosis. Regardless of the fundraising efforts, 100% of the revenue generated by NEVER STOP NEVER QUIT shall support larger/national organizations, with the specific intent of finding a cure for, and managing the devastating effects of, multiple sclerosis. Fundraising: one purpose of NEVER STOP NEVER QUIT is to raise funds only to the extent where efforts are not conducted as part of a larger/national organization (e.g., The National Multiple Sclerosis Society). The limited size of events, local exposure, or other unique requirements may preclude larger/national organizations from coordinating such events.

Notes from the nonprofit

Reclassified, from a nonprofit foundation to a nonprofit charitable organization, on July 27, 2022. Whenever possible, we encourage donations directly to large organizations such as the National MS Society. We focus on receiving donations through venues, programs, and events that are generally too small scope for a large national organization. Our focus is to not add an additional cost layer. All costs to manage the organization are absorbed by our founder and board members.

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
