Give a Gift

Thank you for considering a contribution to advance the lifesaving work of the American Health Assistance Foundation through our three programs: Alzheimer’s Disease Research; National Glaucoma Research; and Macular Degeneration.

There are many ways to make a gift. Outright gifts of cash are fully tax deductible for those who itemize and provide the most convenient form of giving. Gifts of securities, real estate, and assets also provide tax savings to the donor and are extremely beneficial to AHAF. For more information please contact Gayle Handiboe, Manager of Development, at 1-800-437-2423, or via email at ghandiboe@ahaf.org

Make a Recurring Gift

Stay active in the fight against Alzheimer’s, Glaucoma, and Macular Degeneration all year long with a monthly contribution of $10, $20, $100 or more. Many donors are finding this is the easiest and most efficient way to donate to us.

Each and every contribution we receive is important and needed. But those made by automatic payment plans are particularly effective, because we do not have to purchase stamps or envelopes, so our expenses are being reduced. This is why many donors are making this their way to give their support.

By authorizing an automatic donation each month, you can empower your bank to “speak” directly to us by electronic transmission, transferring a pre-set amount almost instantly and with an absolute minimum of cost.

This enables our administrative staff to direct their energies to other duties, which means less overhead— allowing us to allocate more of every dollar to help us in our fight against Alzheimer’s , Glaucoma, and Macular Degeneration. You only have to sign up once and you can choose to have your donation restricted to fund only research!

Securities

When making a gift of appreciated securities, you may receive a charitable deduction for the market value of the gift and save the capital gains tax which would otherwise be payable upon the sale of the assets. Make a gift of stock.
