The National Scleroderma Foundation is excited to introduce the Scleroderma & Endometriosis Support Group as one of our newest support groups.
This support group welcomes anyone who is impacted by scleroderma and endometriosis. Both of these conditions can feel isolating at times, and building community is important for everyone on this journey. We hope to see you at our first meeting on June 6 at 7:00 p.m. ET.
Join Dr. Dinesh Khanna and Dr. Monalisa Ghosh for an in-depth discussion on various Cell therapies in the systemic sclerosis space. Learn about potential benefits, inclusion criteria and where to find more information on upcoming trials.
Are you hoping to close this year with a charitable gift that supports the scleroderma community and reduces your taxes? Consider these options:
MAKE AN IMMEDIATE IMPACT
Writing a check to the Foundation, donating online, or donating by phone can result in tax savings. If you itemize deductions, you can write off the amount you donate, resulting in lower taxable income. Giving by mail? Make sure your envelope is postmarked on or before Dec. 31 to qualify for tax savings this year. Giving by phone? Call us at (800) 722-4673.
USE APPRECIATED SECURITIES
Making a gift via stock or other securities (such as bonds or mutual funds) that you’ve held for more than one year can offer immediate tax saving benefits and may eliminate any tax on appreciation. Please complete the following form when you gift securities to the Foundation.
MAKE A GIFT FROM YOUR IRA
If you are 70½ or older, you can make direct tax-free transfers up to $100,000 from your IRA to the National Scleroderma Foundation. These gift(s) will count toward all or part of your required minimum distribution. Be sure the check has your name and address on it and that your IRA custodian transfers the funds by Dec. 31 so your donation can qualify for tax savings this year.
GIVE THROUGH YOUR DONOR ADVISED FUND (DAF)
The National Scleroderma Foundation is eligible to receive distributions from most Donor Advised Funds. You can open a new DAF by a written agreement at a community foundation or sponsoring organization, add funds to an existing DAF, and/or recommending a grant (or recurring grants) to support the Foundation.
