The MAGIC Foundation has a referral database which allows us to help others find Endocrinologists in their area.  Many of the specialists in our database are based on personal family recommendations. As of now our list mainly consists of Endocrinologists but we are working on building referral lists for other specialties as well.

Brochures

 
MAGIC Foundation publishes brochures on a number of endocrine disorders. These brochures are written by globally recognized thought leaders and researchers on each topic. As new information evolves on a specific disorder our brochures are updated and published here. Please keep in mind that while these brochures contain a multitude of information on specific disorders, that endocrine disorders can be very complex. You should seek the help of a medical professional at all times. These brochures are for your information and education and in no way should be construed as medical advice.

The Independent Charities Seal of Excellence is awarded to Charities of America that have, upon rigorous independent review, been able to certify, on an annual basis that they meet the highest standards of public accountability, program effectiveness, and cost effectiveness.

These standards include those required by the US Government for inclusion in the Combined Federal Campaign, probably the most exclusive fund drive in the world.

Of the 1,000,000 charities operating in the United States today, it is estimated that fewer than 50,000, or 5 percent, meet or exceed these standards, and, of those, fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this Seal. MAGIC's CFC #10388.

Joining MAGIC Foundation has incredible member benefits including a quarterly newsletter, discounts on events, and best of all you are supporting the world's leading advocacy and information group help thousands of families.
