Securities or Direct Transfer
Cure Alzheimer’s Fund is grateful to accept gifts of securities.
To donate securities, please contact Laurel Lyle at [email protected] or 781-237-3800.
More details
We process publicly traded stock at fair market value of the security on the date we receive the stock. Due to financial controls, we are only able to accept publicly traded stock or otherwise registered securities.
Note for year-end giving: To receive a charitable deduction for the current tax year, please ensure your stock transfer is completed by December 31.
Donor-Advised Funds
We gratefully accept donations from donor-advised funds (DAFs). A DAF is a simple, flexible way to support Cure Alzheimer’s Fund by recommending grants at times of your choosing. Please contact your DAF administrator for details and a beneficiary form.
If you or your advisor have questions about making a gift to CureAlz from your DAF, please contact Laurel Lyle at [email protected] or 781-237-3800.
Qualified Charitable Distribution
If you are age 70½ or older, you can make a tax-free gift from your IRA directly to Cure Alzheimer’s Fund. This qualified charitable distribution (QCD) can count toward your required minimum distribution and may help reduce your taxable income, even if you don’t itemize. If you have questions about making a QCD gift to CureAlz from your IRA, please contact Laurel Lyle at [email protected] or 781-237-3800.

Including Cure Alzheimer’s Fund in your will or trust, naming our organization as a beneficiary designation, or including us in a life income gift are all powerful ways to support research to prevent, slow, or reverse Alzheimer’s disease, while still caring for your loved ones.

Many companies offer matching gift programs that can double your donation to Cure Alzheimer’s Fund. Please check with your employer’s human resources department to see if your company participates and how to apply. If you have questions about matching gifts, please contact us at [email protected] or 781-237-3800.
