    Support the Possibilities Grant Program

    Help us continue to provide microgrants to community members

    As we know, ALS is an expensive disease. With our grant program, we have seen a substantial need to provide extra care to families impacted by ALS. Without your support, we may not have enough funds to continue this program after September 2026.

    Every $100 supports an hour of caregiving

    Every $1,000 supports purchasing medical equipment

    Every $5,000 supports home accessible enhancements

    Every $10,000 supports purchasing an accessible van

    Support the LEITH Lab

    We love doing the work of the LEITH Lab, but to continue, we could use additional funds to cover costs such as paying student research assistants, traveling to research conferences, manuscript fees, and pilot research projects.

    Every $50 supports 3 hours of student research

    Every $500 supports student travel to research conference

    Every $1,000 supports conference registration costs (registration fees, abstract fees, etc).

    Every $5,000 supports LEITH lab-specific pilot research
