Special Opportunities
The Arthritis Foundation offers a variety of meaningful opportunities for those who want to make a difference in the lives of people living with arthritis. From fundraising events to patient programs, there are many ways to get involved. Together, we’re creating more possibilities for today and the promise for a brighter tomorrow.
Unrestricted Gifts
Unrestricted funds fuel every corner of our mission: from funding cutting-edge treatments and supporting community programs to responding quickly when urgent needs arise. When there is no limitation on where a gift can go, we can move fast and think big.
When you give an unrestricted gift to the Arthritis Foundation, you are trusting us to put your donation exactly where it is needed most. That flexibility is powerful. It means we can invest in breakthrough research, strengthen advocacy efforts and deliver life-changing resources to the nearly 60 million Americans living with arthritis without delay.
Donor Advised Funds
Your donor-advised fund is one of the most flexible and impactful ways to support the Arthritis Foundation — offering immediate tax benefits while giving you the freedom to direct your giving where it matters most. You can recommend a one-time or recurring grant during your lifetime, or designate the Foundation as a beneficiary to create a lasting legacy of giving people living with arthritis a life without limits.
Appreciated Securities
Did you know that donating appreciated stocks or mutual funds can be one of the smartest ways to support the Arthritis Foundation? By giving securities that have grown in value, you may be able to reduce or eliminate capital gains taxes while also qualifying for a charitable tax deduction — meaning your gift goes further for the arthritis community than it might any other way.
Planned Giving
Fundraising Events
One of the most impactful ways to get involved is through the Walk to Cure Arthritis, our signature event that unites communities to raise funds and awareness. In addition to the Walk, there are countless ways to support the mission through new and ongoing opportunities.
With supporters like you, we can continue advancing groundbreaking research, developing better treatments and cures, supporting children and adults, and empowering communities across the country.
