My 38-year-old husband is in the late stages of frontotemporal dementia. I hate this disease with a passion I never knew. Something has to be done so that not one more family has to go through this. Dr. Bruce Miller of UCSF is my hero! Keep pushing for a cure!

Make a Gift at Tax Time
California law allows taxpayers to contribute money to the Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Research Fund by checking a box on your state income tax return. Contributions through the tax check-off may be claimed as charitable contributions on your tax returns the following year.
To contribute, go to line 401 on your state tax form 540 where the Alzheimer’s Research Fund is named. Indicate the amount that you’d like to contribute. That amount will either be deducted from your refund or added to the amount you owe when making your payment. Funds are distributed by the director of the California Department of Public Health through competitive grants to scientists based at California public or private nonprofit organizations.
