The James Ewing Foundation relies on contributions from SSO members as well as patients, other private individuals, and organizations. We also invite contributions to memorialize colleagues, friends and patients. At a time of decreasing research support by the federal government, the James Ewing Foundation efforts are particularly important. The Foundation incurs no fees or travel expenses for directors, and administrative expenses are limited to program maintenance only. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has granted the James Ewing Foundation tax exempt status and we have completed our transition from a private to a public charitable foundation.
Contributions are fully deductible.
