| How You Can Help Donations have helped move Fanconi anemia, a fatal disease, from an orphaned status in 1989 to a disease with treatments that now buy precious time for FA patients. As the genetic basis of Fanconi anemia continues to be deciphered and FA's role in the DNA repair pathway clarified, your donations are also having an impact on the lives of millions in the general population. The FA Research Fund's outstanding record of fiscal responsibility includes administrative costs consistently far below the average for similar organizations. The Fund's 2006 annual audit documented administrative costs of 4.99% and fundraising costs of 5.03%, for a combined total of 10.02%, exemplary by any standard. To help us continue the fight, consider these ways to donate: Donations by Mail Gifts to celebrate an occasion: If you are celebrating a birthday, an anniversary, a graduation, a marriage, a birth, or other gift-worthy event, consider asking that donations be made to the Fund in honor of the event. Gifts to commemorate a loved one: Families who have lost a loved one may ask that a donation to the FA Research Fund be made in memory of the deceased individual. Bequests: If you are preparing or reviewing your Last Will and Testament, consider making a bequest to the Fund. Matching
Gifts: Many employers will match the charitable gift of an employee. This
is an excellent way to double your donation. All donations are tax deductible. You will receive a letter of thanks to use as a receipt for tax purposes. The Fanconi Anemia Research Fund is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization designated by the Internal Revenue Code. Our tax identification number is 93-0995453.
