I guess this message just received from WPI clears things up.

"We don't qualify for the program based on our annual budget. We will post an update on Facebook letting people know.

Thanks for your support."

 

Here is the announcement on Facebook from the Whittemore Peterson Institute.

We are disappointed to announce that due to financial eligibility requirements the WPI is unable to participate as a recipient in this year’s Chase Community Giving contest. Due to the ongoing expenses related to the work of the WPI clinical research institute, we are still in need of your donations and support and hope that you will visit www.wpinsitute.org to donate directly in support of these vital activities.

CFIDS Emergency Services is also in Chase Giving. People had expressed interest in this group that has given money to individuals in dire circumstances, but was out of money for a while.

When you vote for 5 you get a vote to give to someone.

Link isn't working for me.

 

I thought it would be a good idea to make a list of all the CFS charities and how they are doing. There's so many it's hard to keep track.

3. American Association for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome -55 votes
4. National CFIDS Foundation- 52 votes

This orderly listing is very helpful beesknees. Good for you!

 

Please vote for PATIENT ALLIANCE NEUROENDOCRINEIMMU DISORDERS ORG FOR RESECH & ADV INC
http://apps.facebook.com/chasecommu...rineimmu-disorders-org-for-resech-amp-adv-inc

They looked to be safe for a top 200 position ($25,000) but now the 200th position keeps jumping by a quite lot each day (more votes than PANDORA is getting). We might need 1000 to be safe*. It's at 762 votes at the moment with 200th position being 550.

Remember: you have 20 votes to play with.

Please tell others.

* I previously thought 500 would be what was required so I could be off!

 

I'm a bit worried.
What if some of us are not paying attention and are voting for HP Alliance instead? I'm pretty sure this mistake is common...
