The Northern Ohio Chapter supports people living with ALS and their loved ones through services and education. We leave no stone unturned in the search for the cure of this progressive neurodegenerative disease.
Many of our supporters wish they could do more for our mission than annual donations. Three great options are making The ALS Association a beneficiary in your will, in your trust, or of a financial account such as a 401(k), 403(b), IRA, donor-advised fund (DAF), or brokerage account.

The Northern Ohio Chapter is committed to providing complete and accurate information about our activities and the associated financial costs. To support this commitment, we provide access to Internal Revenue Service Form 990 and Audited Financial Statements.
