Donate Crypto (NEW)

We partnered with Every.org to process Crypto donations. Your donation is made to Every.org, a US 501(c)(3) public charity. Every.org will immediately send you a receipt by email. We then partner with PayPal Grants to grant to Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome Alliance Inc on a monthly basis (or semiannually for balance under $100). This process ensures your eligibility for a tax deduction, enables you to consolidate your gift records, and reduces the burden on Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome Alliance Inc. Are there any fees? Our exchanges generally charge a 1% flat fee to automatically liquidate cryptocurrency. Every.org does not charge any fees of our own.

Planned Legacy Gifts & Bequests

​You can leave a legacy while at the same time supporting the mission of the SDS Alliance. We are committed to making your gift meaningful to you.  ​A bequest through your will allows you to designate a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate to SDS Alliance. A bequest may reduce the amount of your taxable estate, which may increase the actual amount available to loved ones. Please talk to your attorney or financial advisor to determine the best way to include us in your estate plans. Contact us at connect@sdsalliance.org or +1-617-329-1838.

Stock and IRA Charitable Giving

Gifts of Stock that have been held for more than 12 months offer two-fold tax savings: a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift and capital gains can be avoided. Please talk to your tax or financial advisor. Individual Retirement Account (IRA) owners over age 70½ may make a transfer of up to $100,000 per year to qualified charities, including Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome Alliance. IRA charitable rollovers are tax-free and not included in adjusted gross income. An IRA charitable rollover may fulfill part or all of your required minimum distribution (RMD). For more information on making an IRA contribution please talk to your tax or financial advisor.

Personalized Memorial Page

Every life should be celebrated and every loved one should be remembered. Creating a personalized memorial page in loving memory of a loved one is a way to remember those who have recently passed and a way to provide a dedicated link for friends and family to make a donation. You can personalize this page with text and a photo. As long as the page remains active, you can continue to use it to invite gifts in memory of your loved one.  ​ To create a personalized memorial page, use our donation platform and click  "I want to fundraise for this" as described above​. Or, contact us at connect@sdsalliance.org or call us +1-617-329-1838  for assistance.
