As we approach the end of 2024, everyone here at ALS Canada is reminded of the incredible strength and connection of our community. There are tens of thousands of us who have never met in-person, but we are united in the spirit and energy we pour into our shared goals. 

United in your support for groundbreaking research, vital services, information and resources, and amplified advocacy efforts – it’s our supporters that bring us closer to a world free from ALS. But there is still further to go. At ALS Canada, we have a broad mission. Our work is dependent on the generosity of donors to help us reach our vision of a world free of ALS. That’s why donating today is so important in helping our work continue.

How your donations help:

  • Advance research: Every dollar you give helps fund critical research across Canada and around the world, ensuring we remain at the forefront of ALS research. Our initiatives not only enhance our understanding of ALS but also support the development of treatments that may improve and extend lives.
  • Empower with support: Your contributions allow us to offer comprehensive support services tailored to meet the needs of Canadians affected by ALS. From equipment loans in Ontario to navigating healthcare systems across the country, your generosity makes daily life more manageable for many.
  • Drive advocacy: With your help, we advocate for policy changes that prioritize the needs of the ALS community. Your donations empower us to engage with policymakers, ensuring that the voices of people affected by ALS are heard and considered.
  • Spread knowledge: By funding educational programs and resources, you help us equip people living with ALS, families, and healthcare professionals with the information they need to navigate the complexities of ALS.

Donating before December 31 not only provides you with a 2024 tax receipt but also supports essential programs and initiatives that have a direct impact on the ALS community:

  • Your contributions help fund the Canadian ALS Research Network (CALS), which is currently engaging in multiple high-impact studies, including projects focused on genetic research and clinical trials for new ALS treatments. These efforts are crucial in making Canada a hub for innovative ALS research and therapy development.
  • Your gifts fund ALS Canada’s Canadian ALS Learning Institute (CALI), offering webinars and resources that inform people living with ALS, families, and healthcare providers about ALS management, new research findings, and how to advocate. This knowledge empowers the ALS community to engage in consultations with their lived experience, to make informed decisions, and better manage their health.
  • Donations like yours enable us to effectively advocate for the needs of the community, and led to the success of the Ontario Provincial ALS Program, to fund multi-disciplinary clinics and ALS Canada Community Services. There is much work still to do, in the province and across Canada including help navigating healthcare systems across the country. Your generosity makes daily life more manageable for many.

As the year draws to a close, your continued support is more crucial than ever. United, we can continue to impact the lives of people affected by this relentless disease. Will you help with a gift? Every contribution you make before December 31 not only helps us move closer to a cure but also offers you a charitable tax receipt. Donate today.
