The Transverse Myelitis Association is a registered non-profit organization in the State of Washington and is recognized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as an 501(c)(3) organization. As such, your donation is tax deductible to the extent provided by U.S. law. If you reside outside of the U.S., please check your local tax office for any potential benefit. We participate on GuideStar, the on-line standard for nonprofit accountability. Take a look at our listing. There are no membership dues required of TMA members, and we would like to maintain this policy for the Association. It is our goal to have sufficient funds to perform the work of the Association through voluntary contributions and some form of institutional funding. Contributions will be used to provide membership support, education and research for a cure to the neurological condition of Transverse Myelitis. In Memory or Honor DonationsA caring way to honor someone special or recognize an occasion. If you would like to make a donation in memory of a loved one or in honor of a person's birthday or anniversary (or other occasions), please just add a note with the person's and/or family's name and address. The TMA will send an acknowledgement of your donation to the appropriate parties. Matching DonationsYou may be able to double or even triple your contribution if you work for a company that matches employee gifts. Many companies encourage employees to support non-profit organizations like the Transverse Myelitis Association by offering to match employer donations. Your employer may have a program like this. Please see your Human Resources department to see if your company has such a matching gift program. Even companies without formal programs will often provide contributions to charitable organizations in which employees are involved.
