Financial Support For The Repository
Creating and managing the initial 1,000 subject phase of the repository is
expected to take approximately 18 months and will cost $2.5 million. While we
have received a generous $1 million pledge from the Water Cove Charitable
Foundation, the majority of the remaining funds must be raised from
individual donors.

What Your Gift Supports
Accelerated Cure Project is assembling the largest repository of biological
samples and data from people with MS, people with other demyelinating diseases, and
controls to be used for determining the causes of MS.
The repository is available to scientists conducting research into the
causes, sub-types, and biomarkers of MS and related demyelinating
diseases including Transverse Myelitis (TM), Neuromyelitis Optica
(NMO) or Devic's, Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM), and
Optic Neuritis (ON).
Your gift will be used to fund the development of the repository,
allowing us to bring more collection sites on line, recruit more
subjects, and support more research projects.

Increase The Impact Of Your Gift
The Water Cove Charitable Foundation has made a $1 million matching
contribution in support of the repository. These funds will be used
to match donations from others:
- One time gifts - Make a gift of $1,000 or more and it will be
matched dollar for dollar.
- Three year gifts - Gifts of $1,000 or more pledged for three or
more consecutive years will be matched two to one.
- Pooled gifts - Host an event or collect donations from a group of
friends and family members. Your combined gifts totaling $1,000 or
more will be matched just as they would if they were from a single
individual.
Of course, gifts of any size help us reach our goal.
If your employer has a matching gift program, take advantage of it and double the impact of your gift!
