Supporting
BTFC with a Donation

BTFC with a financial contribution, we offer several donation options.
Whatever mechanism you choose, you can always count on BTFC to use your
donation wisely for the brain tumor community.
General

providers.
Anyone can make

Planned
giving through bequests, charitable trusts and other estate planning
tools.
Over the years, BTFC has benefited from those who have made special
provisions in their Estate Plans to support BTFC. Most Planned Gifts
to BTFC come from individuals who have made a provision in their will
or other Estate Plans that designate either a fixed amount or a percentage
of their estate. However, there are numerous planned gift options that
can have profound tax implications that can benefit both your estate
and BTFC. BTFC encourages anyone interested in supporting BTFC through
a planned gift to consult with their financial advisor and/or tax attorney
or contact us directly at 1-800-265-5106 or (519) 642-7755
