The full process
Inquiry About Donation

This step allows us to accurately assess your donation's potential to fund our research efforts right here in Charlotte. Our team will guide you through what information is needed to ensure a smooth process.

This ensures that the maximum value of your donation is realized while supporting the local economy and contributing to environmental sustainability.
Proceeds Fund Research
