FASD-CAN Incorporated is a registered charity in Aotearoa New Zealand. To become a registered charity FASD-CAN had to have a charitable purpose, provide a benefit to the public, and not seek to make profit from our activities. In our case our purpose is supporting people with a hidden disability, and advancing the health and wellbeing of FASD individuals and their caregivers and whānau.
