Which code does this activity belong in?
Voluntary health organizations raise funds specifically for health-related causes including disease research, prevention, and patient services. The key distinction from grantmaking foundations is that voluntary health organizations actively solicit and raise funds for their stated health mission, rather than awarding grants from existing trust funds based on competitive selection. Establishments raising funds for health alongside other social welfare activities belong in Other Grantmaking and Giving Services.
