Through your generous donation, BCAN is working to increase public awareness about bladder cancer, to provide support to patients, and to promote increased research towards the treatment and cure of this disease. Read on for information about ways to give, how you can make honoraria or memorial donations, and more. Ways to GiveWe make it easy to give online, by check or money order, or through gifts of stock. To increase the impact of your contribution, check to see whether your employer offers a matching gift program. BCAN also welcomes donations made in honor or memory of a friend or loved one. Read on for more information about each of these options.
Online GivingThe easiest way to give is through our secure, online giving link. Just click on the “Network for Good” link below and follow the steps to make your gift today. If you provide your address, we will mail you an acknowledgment of your tax-deductible donation. Otherwise, we will send you an email acknowledgment. If you wish to donate in honor or memory of someone, and would like BCAN to send an acknowledgment, please email the acknowledgment and donation information to gschroer@bcan.org. Thank you!
Check or Money OrderPlease make checks or money orders payable to Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network and mail to: BCAN
Honoraria and Memorial GiftsGifts made in honor or memory of a loved one are a thoughtful way to pay tribute to someone special in your life. Gifts can be made to BCAN online through the link above or by mail with a check. If making an honoraria or memorial donation, please be sure to indicate, either with the donation or in an email to gschroer@bcan.org:
The easiest way to do this is print out this form (PDF), complete it, and return it with your donation. BCAN will send a card acknowledging your kind donation to the person (or people) you would like to have notified.
If you have lost a loved one to bladder cancer and wish to suggest BCAN as a recipient organization for donations made in their name, you have several options.
You can also request that your friends and loved ones make donations to BCAN in your or a loved one’s honor:
No matter what method you choose, BCAN will send thank you notes to each donor who shares their contact information, and will also provide you with the list of donors if we have your contact information so that you may send your own acknowledgments. Please feel free to contact us at 888-901-BCAN (2226) with any questions.
Gifts of StockGiving a gift of publicly traded stock that has increased in value and that you have owned for more than one year may provide greater tax benefits to you than giving cash. Your broker can assist you in making a gift of stock via a direct transfer to BCAN. Your charitable income tax donation is equal to the fair market of the stock and you avoid paying capital gains tax on any increase in the current value over the original cost of the stock. If you would like to invest in BCAN by donating stock, please contact us for detailed information (301-215-9099 or toll free at 888-901-BCAN).
Corporate Matching GiftsMany companies offer matching gift programs to encourage employees to contribute to charitable organizations. Most of these programs match contributions dollar for dollar – they are an easy way to increase the impact of your personal contribution to BCAN. Some employers also offer matching programs for retirees or spouses. Please get in touch with your employer to see if they have a matching gift program available. Then fill out the provided forms and enclose them with your donation, or send us the forms after making an online donation – we will take care of the rest.
