The communication initiatives for the AFM’s social missions are aimed at raising the awareness of the public and the authorities in the areas linked to its social missions.
All acts of communication linked to the Téléthon and the general running of the AFM are excluded from this rubric (the former being posted under fund-raising costs, the latter under running costs – particularly institutional communication acts such as the Annual Report).

In 2007, the AFM invested 2.7 million euros in its Communication activities.
- Génocentre : 0.68 million euros
- VLM magazine ‘Conquering myopathies’: 0.33 million euros
- Internet : 0.38 million euros
- Others : 1.29 million euros (press relations, Généthon, I-Stem and Institut de Myologie visits, Science Week, audio-visual reports etc).
