Corporate matching gifts are a great way to maximize personal contributions to ALK Positive and increase the impact of your gift.
Ask your employer if they participate in charitable matching program and if they would match your gift to ALK Positive Incorporated.
Gifts of Stock
Donating appreciated stocks helps further our cause and also provides potential tax benefits. By contributing stocks that have increased in value, you may avoid capital gains taxes and receive a charitable deduction for the full market value, maximizing the impact of your gift.
Donor Advised Funds
DAFs allow you to recommend grants to ALK Positive, offering a flexible and efficient method to manage your charitable donations. Utilizing this approach provides potential tax advantages while ensuring sustained support for our initiatives.
Give with Cryptocurrency
Donating crypto is a safe, fast, and impactful way to support ALK Positive’s mission. Through our trusted partner The Giving Block, your donation is processed securely via Gemini Trust Exchange.
Making a crypto gift is simple:
- Choose your cryptocurrency and gift amount
- Enter your email and basic information (or give anonymously)
- Complete your donation in just a few clicks!
Once your transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, you’ll receive an automatic tax receipt to the email address you provide—making it easy to track your charitable giving.
💡 Did you know? The IRS classifies cryptocurrency donations as property, meaning you may be eligible to avoid capital gains tax while receiving a fair market value deduction—a win-win for you and ALK Positive.
Your crypto gift fuels life-changing research, advocacy, and patient support. Thank you for investing in a future where ALK-positive cancer is no longer a terminal diagnosis.

HEAR FROM PEOPLE LIVING WITH ALK+
Having a glass half full attitude is the only way I know how to be. Life is short, and no one knows when their card will be called, so I choose to enjoy as much of it as I can.
