Naming and Funding Opportunities

Make a gift that links your name, your family’s name, or that of a friend or loved one, with cutting-edge Fragile X research.

Named Funds

You can make a gift to create a current-use fund to address immediate critical needs, or an endowed fund to provide resources in perpetuity. Both types of funds can provide support where it is needed most or be designated to a specific project. Named current-use funds can be established with a gift of $50,000 or more, while a gift of $500,000 or more can name an endowed fund.
