Donate & Volunteer

The Epilepsy Foundation of Metropolitan New York is the New York City affiliate of the National Epilepsy Foundation and is charged with local leadership in the fight to stop seizures, find a cure and overcome the challenges created by epilepsy.

As a hard-working modest organization, the EFMNY relies on individual and workplace giving.

If you are an individual, please consider remembering us in your Planned Giving (will, bequest, or trust), which you might wish to discuss with your Estate Planner, Accountant, or Lawyer. Down through the years, such caring gestures have significantly impacted the vital assistance which the EFMNY provides to others, making a profound difference in our continued fight for the cure, while also furnishing persons with epilepsy and seizures the critical support which they require.

If you are a corporate donor, please include us in your Corporate Giving Program. Corporate workplace giving is on the rise, and surely there are employees, relatives, or friends whose lives are impacted by seizures who will truly appreciate this kind generosity to the EFMNY. Please know that we are available to make a presentation to your workplace, just let us know!

As a 501 C (3) tax-exempt organization, your donation to The Epilepsy Foundation of Metropolitan New York is deductible as permitted by law. We need your support to continue to provide the wide variety of services to persons with epilepsy, their families and the community.

For any questions or concerns, please contact us at (212) 677-8550 Ext. 31, we are here for you.
