About Friends & Families of Cystic Fibrosis Inc

Friends & Families of Cystic Fibrosis (FFCF) is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) charity based in Grand Rapids, Michigan that provides direct, donor-funded assistance to people living with cystic fibrosis in West Michigan. The organization focuses on immediate patient needs such as hospital care packages, assistance with medical supplies and equipment not covered by other resources, support for lung transplant-related needs, and short-term emergency help for utilities, housing, and transportation. FFCF operates through community fundraising and events (including annual fundraising events held in 2023–2024) and partners with local CF care providers to identify individual families and adults who need financial and non-financial support. Recent financial filings show the charity sustaining program activity in 2023–2024 and directing resources toward local program services rather than large-scale national research efforts.
