How AFAR is Funded

The American Foundation for Aging Research is funded by individual donations, some corporate donations, and by the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). The CFC is an employee-focused, cost-efficient program that provides Federal employees with a unique and efficient way to donate to charities.

Why Donate to AFAR
 
  1. Since 1979 we have simultaneously supported higher education and the future intellectual capital in the field of aging research.  Our grants to undergraduate and graduate students may be used to defray tuition costs or for travel and lab expenses related to research and the presentation of such research.  
  2. Unlike large foundations, we allow and encourage donors to honor the memory of loved ones by creating named fellowships designated to finding cures for specific diseases and illnesses.
  3. More than 80% of our income goes directly towards student grants and program costs.  We waste nothing with our conviction that every penny saved goes towards saving lives.
  4. Non-profit watchdog Guide Star verifies our non-profit status.
