Maximize Your Charitable Deductions with the CARES Act

Recently, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted, providing extensive relief for individuals, businesses, medical centers and nonprofits. Some provisions of the CARES Act facilitate charitable giving to protect nonprofits such as the ALS Association, which provide critical programs and services to vulnerable populations. Learn more about how to maximize your 2020 charitable deductions before year end here.

Walk to Defeat ALS

The Greater Sacramento Walk to Defeat ALS has always been our chance to honor the incredible community who fights tirelessly toward a vision of a world without ALS. This year, we brought the Walk to neighborhoods across the Sacramento region and teams walked in their own unique ways to help #endALS. There's still time to help make this unique Walk season the best yet! Make your 2020 Walk to Defeat ALS contributions before year end here. 

If you missed out on the fun of Walk day, check out the virtual Walk program here. 

We're looking to build an army of supporters to enable us to continue the mission of finding a cure for ALS. Sign up to become a sustaining member today and receive an exclusive sustaining member gift. Every contribution, even less than $1 a day, will improve the lives of hundreds living with ALS in Northern California.
