We remain actively involved in the Center through a seat on the Board of Governors. The Robert Packard Foundation for ALS Research also chooses to distribute funds to other organizations that are funding current research projects which may have immediate beneficial results for ALS patients, including stem-cell research or drug discovery. A small percentage of our funds is also expected to be granted to entities that serve, support and administer to ALS patients and their families. Our foundation created and funds a laptop lending program administered by the California Pacific Group's Forbes-Norris Center. The Robert Packard Foundation for ALS Research is an organization run completely by volunteers.
Administrative costs are de minimus.
