2027 MDF Conference SGF Family Fund

The SGF Family Fund Program aims to provide financial support to an MDF Support Group Facilitator (SGF) so a family member can join them at the 2027 MDF International Conference.

SGF Family Fund Details

The SGF Family Fund will cover the family member’s registration cost and provide up to $750 in travel assistance.

Important information about the 2027 MDF Conference SGF Family Fund:

  • The family member must live with the SGF. This may be a caregiver or a person living with DM whom the SGF cares for.
  • The household must demonstrate financial need. Household income and household size will be used to determine financial need. This information will not be saved, stored, or shared.
  • The SGF Family Fund does not cover a hotel room. Because the family member will travel with the SGF, they are expected to share the SGF’s hotel room. Please share all accessibility needs with Lucie Shiffman at lucie.shiffman@myotonic.org.

Questions? If you need help completing the application, have questions about the SGF Family Fund, or need to share accessibility needs, please contact Lucie Shiffman at lucie.shiffman@myotonic.org.
