Contribute to ISMRD's Mission to
Understand and Treat Glycoprotein Storage Diseases!

You can participate in ISMRD's mission on behalf of people affected by a Glycoprotein Storage Disease by making a donation. Since ISMRD does not require membership dues, we must rely solely on the volunteer support of the world community that we serve. ISMRD is a U.S. charitable 501 c3 organization; thus, contributions are usually tax-deductible in the United States and in countries that allow this. Please check your own nation's guidelines regarding charitable contributions.

Donations received by the public can be specified to be used in a number of ways, including:

1.Helping us with expenses to be incurred for our first major fundraising event and family workshop in Michigan, USA April 22-23, 2005: Crossing Oceans for A Cure.

2.Pathways, our free, informative newsletter providing support regardless of national origin. ISMRD requires funding in order to produce and distribute Pathways to our global constituency.

3.Outreach to the public and professional community through our website, informational brochures and direct contact with scientists, clinicians and other Lysosomal Disease organizations.

3.Promotion of research opportunities that one day will result in effective therapies for all Glycoprotein Storage Diseases.

4. Let ISMRD allocate your donation to any number of important aspects of our mission.

Contributions can be made in two ways, by Credit Card or by personal check:
