Hi Folks!
Thanks to all who have asked about giving to The Spinal Cord Injury Project, and thank you Sue for providing the basic information. Will try to answer some of the questions that have been raised recently.
Yes, donations to SCIProject are tax-deductible as we are part of Rutgers University and the Rutgers University Foundation, the latter of which is a 501(c)3. (The EIN number is: 23-7318742.) Gifts can be sent to the Foundation address which Sue gave or directly to us at:
The Spinal Cord Injury Project
604 Allison Road, D-251
Piscataway, New Jersey 08854 USA
In addition to direct donations, you might be interested in a program called "Gift of Hope" through which you can give a gift in memory of someone or in honor of a special occasion (wedding, graduation, Christmas, Hanakkah, etc.). The family or person is sent a gold-trimmed certificate letting them know of your thoughtfulness.
We also are happy to work with anyone having a fund raiser - to provide materials, write letters, help make sure the donations your event receives are tax-deductible, or any other way we can.
We are presently working with the Foundation to permit on-line giving. It should be operational within a week. At first it will be only to The Spinal Cord Injury Project but soon thereafter it will allow other options such as 'Quest for the Cure' which Chris mentioned.
If you want additional information, or to be put on our mailing list, please let me know. Post here or write to Patricia, SCIProject@biology.rutgers.edu.
Looking forward to hearing from you. And if you are 'in the neighborhood', we'd be delighted to welcome you to our Center!
Persist in Hope,
Patricia
