The devastating effects of bipolar disorders are a part of all of our lives. Over two million Americans suffer from bipolar disorders and virtually all the rest of us know a relative or close friend who does. Your gift today will make a tremendous difference, so please be as generous as you can to help bipolar patients and families in need.

Memorials & Honoraria

Gifts in memory of a loved one or in honor of a special family are always welcomed. Or, you might consider making a gift in recognition of the excellent care given by a Family Center for Bipolar Disorder professional.

Endowments and Naming Opportunities

The creation of an endowment to name a Chair in Biological Psychiatry will provide sustained support for The Family Center for Bipolar Disorder. Also available are naming opportunities for the Chief's position, research funds, research positions and physical spaces at the Center, such as waiting rooms and consultation rooms.

Matching Gifts

Many companies encourage their employees to make charitable contributions by matching their philanthropic support - some even match at an increased rate of $5 for each $1 given. The impact of corporate matching support can be enormous. To find out if you work for a company who matches, consult your human resources office, which will provide you with a matching gift form.
