Matching Gifts
You may be able to double or even triple your recent
tax-deductible gift and future gifts to ALS TDI if your employer
has a Matching Gift Program. It's easy - first, find out from
your Human Resource Department if your company offers a Matching
Gift Program. Next, simply obtain and complete the employee
section of the company's matching gift form and send it along
with your donation to ALS TDI. ALS TDI will complete the
organization's portion of the form and return it to your company.
Keep in mind - retirees, spouses, and employees of subsidiary
companies may also be eligible to participate in matching gift
programs.

Donate Stock to the ALS Therapy Development Institute
Gifts of securities are an excellent way to make a gift to the
ALS TDI. Donors receive a deduction for the entire amount of the
stock transferred and avoid taxes on capital gains.
You may donate securities to ALS TDI by notifying your broker
that you wish to transfer them to ALS TDI. This is called a DTC
transfer. To ensure you are properly credited and acknowledged
for the gift, you or your broker must advise ALS TDI of the gift
by sending a letter to:
Bruce Hain
ALS TDI
215 First Street
Cambridge, MA 02142
Fax: 617.441.7299
The letter should include the following information:
- Name of the donor
- Type of stock and number of shares given
- Date the gift was made
- Mean market value of gift on the day it was given, if known
ALS TDI has an account with:
Merrill Lynch
Account Name: ALS Therapy Development Fnd.
Account Number: 818-04161
DTC Number: 5198
Gift date: the date the stock arrives in ALS TDI account.
Thank you for your support of the ALS Therapy Development
Institute. If you have any questions regarding a cash transfer,
please call Bruce Hain at 617.441.7200 or email at
bhain@als.net
