Ways to Give During the Holiday Season
Epilepsy News From: Wednesday, December 10, 2025
The holiday season often encourages us to be mindful and reflect on things that are bigger than ourselves. Epilepsy can be an overwhelming diagnosis. But we can work together to contribute to something greater. Our power lies in the strength of our community. When we give our time, share our stories, and donate funds, we are empowered to make a difference.
How to Give During the Holidays
Monthly Donations
As a monthly partner in the Epilepsy Foundation’s efforts to overcome the challenges of living with epilepsy, you are one of our most dedicated supporters. By providing steadfast income throughout the year, your generosity helps fund high-impact research, education, and advocacy.
Share Your eJourney
Your story matters. When you are empowered to share your epilepsy journey with others, it inspires hope, reduces stigmas, and builds a strong community. Please join us in this brave act of standing up against epilepsy.
Inspire Your Social Network
Creating a Facebook Fundraiser helps support our mission and spread awareness within your social network. Create a page and share your story.
Volunteer Locally
For more than 50 years, volunteers from across the country have worked with us to help people in the epilepsy community. Through spreading awareness, advocating for initiatives, educating others about epilepsy, or organizing fundraising events, volunteer to make an impact in your own community.

Fundraise Your Way
Are you a gamer? Avid runner? Or maybe you can whip up a delicious pan of brownies? Whatever your passion may be, you can turn it into a fundraiser to benefit the Epilepsy Foundation and support over 3.4 million Americans living with epilepsy.
Make a Holiday Gift in Honor or Memory of Your Loved One
Your gift can create a lasting impact while paying tribute to those who hold a special place in your heart. Donate in their name this month.
Bequests and Wills
Legacy planning does not require great wealth. What it does require is generosity of spirit – the desire to share what you have for the benefit of others. By making a bequest to the Epilepsy Foundation, you can ensure future funding for critical epilepsy programs and resources.
Workplace Giving
Do you work for a Matchmaker? Instantly find out if your employer will double or even triple your donations to the Epilepsy Foundation. Workplace giving is also an easy and efficient way to make tax-deductible donations directly from your paycheck to the causes you care about.
Vehicle Donation
Turn your car into cash for the cause you care about. Vehicle donations to the Epilepsy Foundation have the potential to bring hundreds and sometimes even thousands of dollars in support of our programs. Donating is easy, the pick-up is free, and your gift is tax-deductible.
Give Stock
Maximize your impact by donating appreciated stock. Making a gift of stock helps you make a difference in the epilepsy community, is tax deductible, and you can avoid capital gains tax.
Cryptocurrency
Donating cryptocurrency to the Epilepsy Foundation is not taxable and allows you to avoid capital gains tax on the appreciated amount. This tax-deductible contribution makes Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency donations one of the most tax-efficient ways to support the Epilepsy Foundation.
Any way you give during the holidays makes an impact and supports our mission to improve the lives of people affected by epilepsy through education, advocacy, research, and connection.
