Vitamin D Council's future at risk — please help

Editor's note: Vitamin D Council, a non-profit organization founded by Dr. John Cannell, a highly respected vitamin D expert, is at risk of dissolution as it has not received sufficient donations from individuals.  Dr. Cannell and his organization have been doing a great job over the years in educating the public about the importance of Vitamin D.  Many of us have learned from this organization that vitamin D deficieny is linked to all types of serious diseases such as 17 types of cancers, heart disease and diabetes among others.  We have learned some tips and tricks that we could not learn from elsewhere.  We all thank Dr. Cannell and his organization for their contribution.  After Dr. Cannell posted his message on his organization's website as shown below, Vitamin D Council has received some support, but more help is needed. We are not affiliated with the organization, but we post Dr. Cannell's message here to encourage our readers to show their support by donating a small amount of money $5, 10, 20, 100 or any amount they decide to donate. Anything helps.

Vitamin D Council's future at risk — please help

Because we are a nonprofit, the support of the public is crucial to the Vitamin D Council's existence...

The number of donations we receive every year from the public is few and, as of this year, has decreased considerably. The truth is, if it were not for our sponsors, the Vitamin D Council would not still be here. The reality of so few donations has had its challenges, none more so than the limitations imposed upon what we are able to set out to accomplish. Now, that reality stands to bring its greatest challenge yet — it could place our very existence at risk.

Incorporated as a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(e) educational corporation in the State of California, the Vitamin D Council is required by the IRS to receive a certain percentage of our funding from many small donations. We are not meeting that requirement and, unless the number of donations received by the Vitamin D Council increases, the IRS could decide to revoke our nonprofit, tax-exempt status. If this were to occur, it is most likely that we would no longer be able to continue our mission.

To all our fans who appreciate the efforts of Dr. Cannell, to those who value the information provided by the Vitamin D Council, and to those who would like to keep us around awhile longer, we ask for your help in the form of a donation.

The vitamin D movement has come far, however, there's still a long way to go. The Vitamin D Council has been a prominent proponent in that movement and would be thankful for the opportunity to continue to bring the truth of the wonders of vitamin D to all of humanity. Our greatest accomplishments have yet to happen, let us see what we can do...
