Ways to Give

Thank you for considering a gift to the International Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia Foundation (IWMF). This is an exciting time for individuals with Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia (WM) because we are deeply embedded in research to find a cure and we have many ways to support everyone affected by this blood cell cancer, so they achieve better health outcomes.

Our efforts leverage the collective genius of blood cancer organizations and medical research communities worldwide. We are currently funding projects at academic centers in nine countries. WM research is entirely dependent on your financial support, as government does not fund rare disease research.

Hopeful words of Dr. Steven Treon of Dana Farber Cancer Institute.

How Can I Make a Planned Gift to IWMF?

Consider a Planned Gift to the IWMF. If you want to include a gift to IWMF in your estate, we have partnered with FreeWill, a free online tool, that guides you through the process of updating a will or estate planning documents. We appreciate knowing about gift plans, and we hope you will join the Ben Rude Heritage Society.

Can I Include a Gift to IWMF in My Estate Plan?

Consider Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), also known as IRA Charitable Rollovers. If you’re 70.5 or older and have a traditional IRA, you might consider this secure online tool to donate directly from your retirement account, while reducing taxable income. This donation will fulfill your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) if you must take one. If you already made a QCD gift to the IWMF, and you need a tax acknowledgement letter, click here.
