The simplest and perhaps most common of all planned giving methods is the bequests. 

Charitable Gift Annuity

A donor may choose to set up a charitable gift annuity which is then a contract between themselves and Project 8p.

Charitable Remainder Unitrust

The income recipients receive annual payments from the trust based on a fixed percentage selected by the donor.

Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust

The charitable remainder annuity trust is similar to the charitable remainder unitrust in many respects.

Charitable Lead Trust

A donor may choose to set up a charitable lead trust is the converse of the charitable remainder trust. 

Life Insurance Gift

Some donors may choose to select Project 8p as a beneficiary of any percentages. 

The Project 8p Foundation (Project 8p) was created in 2018 to:

  • Accelerate future treatments, not only for 8p, but potentially for other chromosome-wide diseases as well.
  • Lead with knowledge from patients. Currently, there is no cure for 8p disorders, nor is there a standard course of treatment.

The Project 8p Foundation (Project 8p) was created in 2018 to:

  • Raise transformative funding for pioneering scientific research into treatments for a complex, rare disease involving 250+ affected genes on the short arm of the 8 th chromosome (8p). Rearrangements of these genes causes significant abnormalities to the entire neurological system, thus all organs and functions of the body– with variance in cognitive functions, gross motor skills, social development and other challenges during infancy, and throughout life;
  • Empower a unified community of 8p patients and their families so they can have meaningful lives today; and
  • Accelerate future treatments, not only for 8p, but potentially for other chromosome-wide diseases as well.
