Giving Tuesday is coming up on December 4th 2024! Join this global day of generosity by donating to nonprofits of your choice. More information on Giving Tuesday can be found on their website here. Information on how to support the ALS Community via MOFF is below.
How Your Support Makes a Difference
Every dollar donated this Giving Tuesday will help MOFF continue our work in three key areas:
- Funding Research: Understanding the pathogensis of ALS is crucial to developing therapeutic options for this disease. Each year MOFF provides grants between $20,000- $100,000 to ALS researchers for their efforts to better understand disease mechanisms, run clinical trials, optimize therapeutic targets, identify new animal models and more.
- Providing Support Services: MOFF distributes an annual grant to the ALS Network that is specifically earmarked for individuals living with ALS (PALs) on the Central Coast of CA. These funds are used by care managers to provide vital services such as physical therapy, transportation services, medication and other disease-related needs. MOFF connects with PALs during local support groups to better understand the unmet needs including the emotional and mental challenges of living with ALS.
- Spreading Awareness: Awareness is key to driving progress. The more people understand ALS, the more support we can garner for research, care, and advocacy.
