California is one of 41 states that allows taxpayers to make a voluntary contribution to a range of causes when completing and filing their yearly state tax return. Since 1984, California's tax check-off program has raised $73 million and provided critical funding to public health, social service, and environmental protection programs. Alzheimer's Disease Research is just one of those line items.
Taxpayers and tax prepares have embraced the tax check-off program. The tax-deductible contributions, which average $12 per taxpayer, have added up to make a significant difference in the health and well-being of Californians, especially those in need. The check-off line item appears under "contributions" on the California state tax return.
This important funding allowed over $1 million dollars to be distributed to researchers in the state to focus their efforts on Alzheimer’s disease research last year. Please consider donating to this important source of funding for Alzheimer’s specific research in California.
