New Horizons in 21st Century Life Extention

DOES THE CRYONICS INSTITUTE (CI) ACCEPT DONATIONS?

YES!

And not only in the form of cash. We as an organization are very much in need of skilled, professional-level volunteer help. If you have skills in anything from desktop publishing to giving talks at local schools and churches to medical service, and you're interested only in donating some time, we call or email us! We'd be glad to hear from you.

Extra income can always strengthen any organization and money given to the Cryonics Institute would enable us to do more and to provide even better service, with better technology. It will allow us to withstand any great legal, social or political challenges we may face. We have faced such challenges in the past, survived and have been strengthened as a result. We have been helped by tremendous support from our Members and friends.

Giving Doesn't Have To Hurt

Members can help financially by arranging for regular small donations from a credit card. Or they can increase the amount of the life insurance to a figure well above the minimum required for cryopreservation. (This is a good idea anyway, because new technologies may become available in the future at extra cost.)

Some of the most generous and helpful donations we receive are in the form of bequests. Members will simply make CI the beneficiary of a large portion of their estate, so that the organization that is keeping them cryopreserved will be stronger and more certain to be able to maintain them in cryopreservation for as long as necessary.

Giving For Research

Our Research Department until 2008 was headed by Dr. Yuri Pichugin, a Ph.D cryobiologist with well over twenty years experience, and nearly forty publications in peer-reviewed professional journals to his credit. More recently, cryonics research has been done by contract with Advanced Neural Biosciences.

Advanced Neural Biosciences is an Oregon research company run by Aschwin and Chana de Wolf. Chana de Wolf has a Master's degree in neurobiology and Aschwin has extensive cryonics experience working for many cryonics organizations, including doing cryonics research. Currently, their focus has been on improving perfusion on ischemic patients.

Tax-Deductible Contributions

The Cryonics Institute accepts donations. But although we are a non-profit corporation we are not a charitable corporation. So contributions to CI are not tax-deductible.

Contributions to the Immortalist Society are tax-deductible, however, because the Immortalist Society is a 501(c)3 charitable organization. The Immortalist Society has a Cryonics Research Fund which has contributed greatly to the advancement of cryonics technology and the science of issues related to cryonics technology. If you have appreciated assets in the form of stock or real estate that you wish to donate, you may be able to donate the full appreciated value of those assets and deduct the full amount of that appreciated value from your income tax.
