Whatever your stage in life, planned giving can benefit you and your loved ones while helping to advance innovative new discoveries in cancer for generations to come. 

Gift in Your Will

The easiest way to donate to the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation in the future is by including the Foundation in your will. There are a number of options, such as designating a specific dollar amount or giving a percentage of the remainder of your estate. Bequests in the form of property or other assets are also welcome. See sample language to give to your attorney here.

Tell us about your gift so we may celebrate your generosity now and recognize you as a member of our Discovery Society.

Retirement Plans

You can leverage your retirement assets to benefit you and your family, reduce federal taxes, and support the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation far into the future. Name the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other qualified retirement plan.
