Other ways to support our work

Every act of support matters.

Thank you for your interest in supporting the Euan MacDonald Centre. From setting up a donation direct from your salary to nominating us as your Charity of the Year, there are many ways you can support MND research at the Euan MacDonald Centre. 

The University of Edinburgh Development Trust will administer your donation and get it to the Euan MacDonald Centre in full.


Payroll giving 

You can support MND research at the Euan MacDonald Centre through your pay. 

Payroll giving is a simple, tax-efficient way of donating to the Euan MacDonald Centre. Donations are taken each month from your salary before tax, which means more money is received by the Centre. 

It is simple to get involved - ask your HR department or employer about Payroll Giving. It is also worth asking them about matched funding. Some companies also match-fund the donations made by employees, effectively allowing you to double your donation at no extra cost.

To find out more about setting up a regular donation visit the University of Edinburgh Payroll Giving information page: Payroll Giving 


Charity of the Year 

Businesses are invited to nominate the Euan MacDonald Centre as their “Charity of the Year,” offering colleagues a chance to fundraise collectively through workplace events. 

Your business and brand will be supporting world-leading MND research and innovation – including MND-SMART, Europe’s largest-ever MND clinical trial platform, which tests multiple drugs simultaneously to accelerate the search for effective drug treatments. 

To discuss a partnership, contact the Centre’s fundraising team by email: fundraising team  


Celebrations 

Whether you’re celebrating a special birthday, planning your wedding or celebrating a milestone wedding anniversary, we would love to be part of your special day.

If you want gifts that give back, why not ask for donations to the Euan MacDonald Centre in lieu of a gift?

Celebration donations will help us do vital MND research. You can dedicate part of your birthday, wedding, anniversary to us by asking friends and family for donations as a gift! We can help you set up a JustGiving page to make it easier for you.
