Workplace Giving
Giving through your place of work is easy and an effective way to regularly contribute to eligible charities through your company’s payroll system. You can help BrightFocus Foundation or one of its programs: Alzheimer’s Disease Research, Macular Degeneration Research, and National Glaucoma Research, change the trajectory to find cures for diseases of mind and sight and provide valuable information to those affected by taking action today.
Double Your Donation and Make Your Gift Go Twice As Far
Did you know you can double your donation to BrightFocus Foundation, Alzheimer’s Disease Research, Macular Degeneration Research, or National Glaucoma Research through our matching donation program?
Many companies encourage philanthropy among their employees by offering matching gift programs that match their donations. Gifts from employees’ spouses and retirees may also qualify for a match.
Type your company name in the search field below to find out if your current or former employer (if you’re a retiree) will match your gift to one of our programs.
