Donate

Thank you for supporting the Brain Preservation Foundation

Please give only what you feel you can easily afford. $5 or more is a typical online annual donation for small nonprofits.

Your donations go directly to brain preservation research and development, and prize outreach and administration, with the goal of producing and verifying high-quality, high-resolution, fully preserved animal and human brain connectomes as soon as possible.

If you wish, you may specify in the notes of your donation that your donation is to be applied to any of four uses:

1) Technology Prize purse, to raise the incentive to compete,
2) Evaluation Fund, helping offset our costs to evaluate competitor submissions, and reducing their costs of competition,
3) Operating Budget, allowing us to do more outreach, competitor support, and fundraising activities for the current year, or
4) Endowment, which may not have its principal reduced by BPF directors as long as BPF is a legal entity, and
    whose investment interest may one day permanently sustain BPF charitable activities.

Alternatively, you may give an unspecified donation, and BPF directors will place your donation in the category of greatest need.

The Brain Preservation Foundation was incorporated in Delaware on August 27, 2010, and has filed a Form 1023 application with the IRS for a recognition of Section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. When a favorable determination letter is eventually issued to us by the IRS, it will have retroactive effect so that any contributions made to us after August 27, 2010 will then be considered deductible charitable contributions.

Until our IRS letter is received, BPF donations are handled by the Acceleration Studies Foundation (ASF), a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that is accepting and forwarding PayPal donations on our behalf with no handling fee. Thanks!
