Time is Short - Make a Year-End Gift Today

Two Days Left to Make a Tax-Deductible Contribution

When you make a financial donation to the National Niemann-Pick Disease Foundation, you get so much more than a tax deduction. You will enjoy the wonderful feeling of knowing you’re making a tangible difference in the lives of children, adults and families living with the challenges of NPD!

Your gift drives the essential research that will unlock the mysteries of NPD, bringing effective treatments and therapies for the ravages it wreaks on the body and brain.

Your generosity also provides important support services for the families who walk the lonely road of a rare disease, helping them connect with others who know and understand, and providing them with the information they so desperately need.

Even the most modest donation can make an enormous difference when added together with the gifts of others. Please, remember the families of the NNPDF in your year-end charitable giving!

Thank you for making a difference in the lives of those battling Niemann-Pick Disease!

Happy New Year from the NNPDF!

During these final days of 2010, we at the National Niemann-Pick Disease Foundation give thanks for individuals like you who are vital to fulfilling our mission.

Thank you for being part of our efforts to offer support to families and to further research into treatments and a cure for Niemann-Pick Disease!

We'd like to humbly remind our generous supporters that a year-end gift to the NNPDF can reduce one's income tax obligation while providing meaningful support for the work of the foundation and offering the gift of hope for all those suffering from NPD.

The NNPDF gratefully accepts direct financial donations, United Way and Combined Federal Campaign contributions, gifts of stock, in-kind donations, and planned gifts such as bequests, beneficiary designations or life insurance policies.

If you'd like to designate your gift in honor of a loved one, the NNPDF will gladly send out a card to the honoree acknowledging your gift.

One item of special note -- a late-breaking tax measure allows IRA year-end donations until January 31st. This key charitable tax break took effect December 17th, allowing those age 70 1/2 or older to make tax-free 2010 year-end charitable gifts of up to $100,000 from their IRA accounts up until January 31st, 2011.

Please visit our Web site for more information about philanthropic year-end gift ideas, and as always, we invite you to contact us with any questions.

With deepest gratitude, we thank you for your continued support, and we send our most sincere wishes to you and your family for a wonderful holiday season and a healthy, happy New Year!
