However, NIDDK is also authorized by the U.S. Congress to accept donations and bequests to support its mission. We do not solicit funds or participate in fundraising activities. Gifts must be entirely voluntary.</p>
|
||
<p>A gift will be considered “conditional” if the donor restricts its purpose to support research on a specific disease or a specific research study, project, or conference; to support activities of an NIDDK employee identified by name or organizational title; for specifically identified functions, such as observances, ceremonies, particular public information or health promotion campaigns, community outreach activities; or purchase of a specific item or types of equipment, or other specific uses. A gift will be considered “unconditional” if it is made to or for the NIDDK for general purposes without further specification as to its purpose or manner of use. “Unconditional” donations will be merged into a general account to be used at the discretion of the NIDDK Director to support any type of research or activity related to NIDDK’s mission.</p>
|
||
<p>A contribution can be made to NIDDK by sending a check, money order, or wire transfer payable to "The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases" addressed to:</p>

||
<p>National Institutes of Health<br />

||

|
||
Building 31, Room 9A34<br />
|
||
Bethesda, MD 20892</p>
|
||
<p>A letter should be sent along with the check or money order indicating the purpose of the donation. For wire transfer instructions, please contact the number below. If a contribution is to be made as a memorial, please indicate the name of the deceased as well as a name and address of the individual(s) to whom an acknowledgment can be sent. All donors are acknowledged.</p>
|
||
<p>If you are considering a bequest in a will, the will should show the address of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases to avoid confusion about your intentions. The will should indicate that the bequest is to be used to support the research and related activities of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (unconditional) or a specific disease or research project/study (conditional). In the absence of the will specifying the NIDDK, bequests to benefit research related to diabetes, kidneys, endocrinology, digestive diseases, nutrition, or any of the named diseases within the NIDDK mission may also be accepted as a gift.</p>
|
||
<p>The decision whether to accept any gift is a discretionary administrative decision, based upon program needs and public policy considerations. Most gifts are accepted when they will be beneficial to NIDDK, as long as any conditions of the gift are not illegal, contrary to public policy, or burdensome and the gift will not create a real or apparent conflict of interest, as could occur when a gift is offered by an organization with which NIDDK has financial dealings.</p>
|
||
<p>NIDDK is a Federal Agency of the United States Government and is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as tax-exempt under 26 U.S.C. 501(c)(3). Contributions to the NIDDK are tax-deductible pursuant to 26 U.S.C 170. Potential donors should, however, consult with their tax advisors.</p>

<p>The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), of the National Institutes of Health, is a Federal Government research agency funded by Congressional appropriations. However, NIDDK is also authorized by the U.S. Congress to accept donations and bequests to support its mission. We do not solicit funds or participate in fundraising activities. Gifts must be entirely voluntary.</p>
|
||
<p>A gift will be considered “conditional” if the donor restricts its purpose to support research on a specific disease or a specific research study, project, or conference; to support activities of an NIDDK employee identified by name or organizational title; for specifically identified functions, such as observances, ceremonies, particular public information or health promotion campaigns, community outreach activities; or purchase of a specific item or types of equipment, or other specific uses. A gift will be considered “unconditional” if it is made to or for the NIDDK for general purposes without further specification as to its purpose or manner of use. “Unconditional” donations will be merged into a general account to be used at the discretion of the NIDDK Director to support any type of research or activity related to NIDDK’s mission.</p>
|
||
<p>A contribution can be made to NIDDK by sending a check, money order, or wire transfer payable to "The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases" addressed to:</p>
|
||
<p>National Institutes of Health<br />
|
||
National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases<br />
|
||
Office of Financial Management and Analysis<br />
|
||
9000 Rockville Pike, MSC 2560<br />
|
||
Building 31, Room 9A34<br />
|
||
Bethesda, MD 20892</p>
|
||
<p>A letter should be sent along with the check or money order indicating the purpose of the donation. For wire transfer instructions, please contact the number below. If a contribution is to be made as a memorial, please indicate the name of the deceased as well as a name and address of the individual(s) to whom an acknowledgment can be sent. All donors are acknowledged.</p>
|
||
<p>If you are considering a bequest in a will, the will should show the address of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases to avoid confusion about your intentions. The will should indicate that the bequest is to be used to support the research and related activities of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (unconditional) or a specific disease or research project/study (conditional). In the absence of the will specifying the NIDDK, bequests to benefit research related to diabetes, kidneys, endocrinology, digestive diseases, nutrition, or any of the named diseases within the NIDDK mission may also be accepted as a gift.</p>
|
||
<p>The decision whether to accept any gift is a discretionary administrative decision, based upon program needs and public policy considerations. Most gifts are accepted when they will be beneficial to NIDDK, as long as any conditions of the gift are not illegal, contrary to public policy, or burdensome and the gift will not create a real or apparent conflict of interest, as could occur when a gift is offered by an organization with which NIDDK has financial dealings.</p>
|
||
<p>NIDDK is a Federal Agency of the United States Government and is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as tax-exempt under 26 U.S.C. 501(c)(3). Contributions to the NIDDK are tax-deductible pursuant to 26 U.S.C 170. Potential donors should, however, consult with their tax advisors.</p>
