"I wish I could do more."

That's the comment we often hear from friends of the National Osteoporosis Foundation when they make gifts to support our awareness, education and research programs.   What if it were possible to make an exceptionally large gift, the kind of contribution many friends of NOF would like to make, if there were just some way to do it? We're talking about gifts that truly make a difference, that ensure a level of support that magnifies our ability to provide programs of awareness, public and health professional education, advocacy and research . . . and multiplies your personal satisfaction and recognition.  Strange as it may sound, an exceptionally large gift often can be made at a relatively low cost. It's just a matter of planning WHAT to give, HOW to give it and WHEN to give it. The information on these pages illustrates many ways of making an exceptionally large gift through a "planned gift," and our staff can be helpful in better understanding these options. Just call or e-mail our office.
