Your Donor-Advised Fund Gift to National Glaucoma Research Will:
Fund the Most Promising Science
We fund breakthrough research that embraces the untried and unexpected. These “what-ifs” of science could potentially change the lives of more than three million Americans living with glaucoma — and an estimated half of them may not know that they have the disease. This number is expected to double by 2050. The need for a cure is urgent, and we must leave no stone unturned.
Promote Public Awareness of Glaucoma
We provide the public, individuals, and families affected by glaucoma with vital information on cutting-edge clinical advances, advice from leading experts, tools to understand symptoms and manage the disease, support for caregivers, prevention tips, and much more.
Through a DAF gift, you’ll make a life-changing difference for those affected by glaucoma. National Glaucoma Research is a program of BrightFocus Foundation. BrightFocus Foundation’s tax ID number is 23-7337229.
What is a Donor-Advised Fund?
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable savings account with the flexibility to recommend grants to National Glaucoma Research. Take advantage of favorable tax benefits, flexibility to support your favorite charities, and financial growth through invested, tax-free charitable contributions.
With a DAF, you give when you would like, receive immediate and maximum tax deductions allowed by the IRS, and recommend grants as you desire. DAFs are an excellent way to both simplify your charitable giving and put you in control of your philanthropic endeavors.
How it Works
Establish your DAF by making an irrevocable, tax-deductible donation to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program.
- Advise the investment allocation of the donated assets (any investment growth is tax-free).
- Recommend grants to qualified public charities of your choice.
Support from our generous donors is our most powerful weapon against this disease. Through a DAF gift, you will join the fight alongside us, ensuring life-changing advancements continue by supporting visionary scientists as they search for a cure.
