Here are many ways in which you can help support the lifesaving work of the Cancer Project:

General Donations

If you wish to make a donation to The Cancer Project, simply fill out the online form. The form allows you to make donations on your credit card via a secure server. If you prefer to send in your contribution with a check, just print out the form and include it with your donation when you mail it in. Your gift will fund our work to advance cancer prevention and survival through nutrition education and research.

Car Donations

If you have an extra set of wheels, consider donating it to The Cancer Project and receiving a tax deduction. We will take care of the paperwork, handle the towing if necessary, and send you a receipt. Please use our online form or call 866-332-1778.

Memory or Honor Donations

If you would like to make a gift in memory or honor of a loved one, the Cancer Project will send a card to the family or honoree acknowledging your thoughtful donation. You may add a personalized message to the card. You will also receive a notice confirming that your donation has been received and a gift card has been sent. To make a gift, please contact Betsy Wason at 202-244-5038, extension 366, or bwason@cancerproject.org.

Planned Gifts

Gifts by will or bequests, both large and small, provide critical support for the Cancer Project. Bequests allow you to financially provide for your loved ones while also assuring that the important work you supported throughout your life continues uninterrupted. Other benefits include:

• A charitable bequest may place your estate in a lower estate tax bracket.
• Charitable gifts made through your will are 100 percent deductible for estate tax purposes.

Bequests may be written as a percentage, residual, or specific monetary amount. Retirement funds and life insurance are additional methods for providing charitable contributions through your estate. To make a gift, please contact Betsy Wason at 202-244-5038, extension 366, or bwason@cancerproject.org.

Gifts of Securities

At this time, we are unable to process gifts of securities via the Internet. If you have appreciated stock that has been held for at least one year, you may wish to donate that directly to help offset capital gains taxes. For information on how to make this gift, please e-mail bwason@cancerproject.org.

If you have securities that have declined in value over the years and are interested in donating them, you may find it more advantageous to sell them first and contribute the proceeds to the Cancer Project, rather than donating the securities outright. This would allow you to claim a loss from the sale of the securities as well as the charitable gift.

Thank you for your support.
