October 9 is DAF Day—a national day dedicated to the power of Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) to make a difference. This year, you can multiply your impact by directing a grant from your DAF to Open Medicine Foundation (OMF). To learn more about DAFs, visit our ways to donate page here.
Why give through your DAF in 2025?
- Tax-smart giving: DAF gifts provide immediate tax benefits while allowing you to support causes you care about most.
- Flexible impact: You can recommend a gift at any time, making it easy to respond to urgent needs and opportunities.
- Amplify momentum: In 2025, OMF is expanding global research and driving forward discoveries that bring us closer to diagnostics and treatments for ME/CFS and Long COVID.
Why choose OMF for your DAF?
OMF leads a worldwide effort to:
1. Clear Disease Models
OMF funds research to uncover and validate the biological mechanisms of ME/CFS and Long COVID, laying the groundwork for targeted treatments.
2. Accurate Diagnosis
We advance biomarker research to enable definitive diagnosis and broaden access to care.
3. Effective Treatments
♦ Short-term: Repurpose known therapies to relieve symptoms and improve function
♦ Long-term: Develop cures by addressing root causes.
4. Access to Care
Through MERC, our partnership with the Bateman Horne Center, we support training providers worldwide to deliver better care to hundreds of millions suffering.
On DAF Day, October 9th, you can help us keep hope alive and accelerate urgently needed breakthroughs. Designate OMF as your DAF recipient and join a growing community committed to ending suffering through the hope of effective research.
Together, we can make 2025 a milestone year in the fight against ME/CFS and Long COVID.
