Year-End Giving

2010 Year-End Gift Ideas

Each year, hundreds of families around the world depend on the CCNNPDF/NNPDF for medical information, research updates and emotional support as they struggle to care for a terminally-ill child or young adult.

We, in turn, depend on those with the compassion and the financial resources to make a difference in the lives of those who are suffering. We depend on the generosity of donors and the hard work of family fundraisers to drive forward the research that will ultimately result in treatments and a cure for NPD, and to provide support services in the meantime to those who are affected by this disease.

As you consider your year-end gift-giving, we hope you will consider making a gift to the CCNNPDF. Your 2010 year-end gift will provide meaningful support for the work of the foundation.

Here are some of the best 2010 year-end gift ideas. We would be pleased to provide further information upon request.

Gifts-In-Kind

Donations of printing, advertising, promotional items, office supplies, etc., help the foundation keep overhead costs low and allow us to direct more funding toward family support services and research.

FAQs

Does my small contribution really make a difference? Research projects cost a lot of money. A pilot project can cost $25,000 or more and a large research project can cost $200,000 or more; however, each contribution we receive adds up to support the vital research needed to find treatments and a cure for Niemann-Pick Disease. And research is making progress. To learn more about research funded by the CCNNPDF, visit our Research pages. Every contribution, large or small, makes a difference and drives research forward to win the fight against NPD. The CCNNPDF and families affected by NPD deeply appreciate any contribution you are able to make, and we work hard to be good stewards of your gifts.

I don't have a lot of money to contribute. What else can I do?
