JDRF is the only organization with a strategic research plan to end type 1 diabetes (T1D).  For more than four decades, we have been renowned as a highly effective research organization with remarkable efficiency in directing donor dollars toward achieving our goal of a world without T1D.  JDRF puts donor dollars to work; more than 80 percent of what we spend goes directly to research and research-related education.

As we close out 2013, please consider making a gift to support our mission.  Year-end giving opportunities include:

• Making a gift in honor of a loved one; we will send a note card notifying them that you have made a gift in their name.
• Making a gift of appreciated stock or mutual funds—transfer securities directly from your account and you can enjoy the deduction for the full current value and avoid capital gains tax.
• Checking with your employer regarding their matching gifts program, where you can effectively double or triple your charitable contribution.  Visit www.matchinggift.com/jdrf to see if your company matches gifts.

With our strategy and your support, we will turn Type One into Type None.

For more information about giving options available at JDRF or the research you will be helping to fund, contact Kathleen Regan, Branch Manager at (603) 222-2300 or kregan@jdrf.org.   Thank you.
