We hope that you will join the thousands of others who, during the last 25 years, have recognized AFAR's unique role in the field of aging research, and who have supported the quest for ways to prevent, cure and treat age-related diseases.

AFAR is proud of the low administrative overhead that allows us to pass along almost 90 cents of every dollar we raise directly to research grants. This "lean" structure makes us attractive to foundations, corporations and individuals who have placed their trust in AFAR to manage their funds in a responsible manner.

There are several ways individuals, corporations and foundations can show their support for the American Federation for Aging Research. For example, you can:

• Underwrite grants in your company or foundation name on behalf of new investigators or supported research in an area of particular interest, such as heart disease or Alzheimer's;
• Honor a loved one with a named AFAR Research Grant;
• Double or triple your contribution through your employer's matching gift program;
• Join AFAR's Terrapin Society, a new planned giving program; or
• Donate stock.
