Thank you! Our work is made possible through your generosity. Your contribution allows us to educate about organ, eye, and tissue donation in the national community. We fund the Colby Cassani Endowed Lectureship Series (CCELS) at schools of medicine. The CCELS not only educates attendees about donation and transplantation; it also features organ donors, their families, and transplant recipients presenting a personal perspective to these future physicians. Your contribution also supports presentations to community groups, civic organizations, and and other nonprofits. We gratefully accept your contribution to our efforts at educating and, ultimately, saving lives.
Here's what one of our regular donors shared with us:
“MY FATHER WAS A CORNEA DONOR, MY AUNT IS A KIDNEY RECIPIENT, AND MY FRIEND NEEDS A BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT. I GIVE TO THE COLBY FOUNDATION TO HONOR EACH OF THEM. I GIVE BECAUSE I SEE THAT; WHEN PEOPLE LEARN ABOUT TRANSPLANTATION, ESPECIALLY ABOUT THE INDIVIDUALS WHOSE LIVES ARE SAVED AND THE DONOR FAMILIES WHO ARE COMFORTED AS THEY GRIEVE, THEY ARE MOVED TO REGISTER AS ORGAN DONORS AND TO SAVE MORE LIVES.”
The Colby Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, so your contributions may be tax-deductible.
*We are not an authority on tax laws or your specific tax situation. Before taking this or any other contribution as a deduction, please check with your accountant and/or the Internal Revenue Service.*
