OMF Correspondent Ben H. sat down, bedside, with Dr. Ron Davis over Skype to talk about the latest in research at the OMFCA-funded ME/CFS Stanford Collaborative Research Centre and the collaboration between all three OMF funded Collaborative Research Centres.
During their conversation Ron and Ben also talked about Triple Giving Tuesday OMFCA. Even though Triple Giving Tuesday is over, we want you to know that your donations year-round keep this critical research moving forward.
Donate your appreciated stock directly to OMFCA and you can receive an immediate income-tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities on the date of transfer (even if you originally paid much less for them).
OMFCA sells your securities and uses the proceeds to support our mission. You also do not pay capital gains tax on the transfer when the stock is sold. Giving appreciated stock can be more beneficial than giving cash. The “cost” of your gift is often less than the deduction you gain by making it. In advance, thank you for making this generous gift.
