Welcome
Dear Friends,
Thank you for your interest in leaving a legacy to the Education and Research Foundation (ERF) for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging. Your generosity will help us ensure the future of the field of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. Considering a planned gift allows you to support the ERF while providing you a way to redirect your taxes to benefit your family, your community and a mission to which we are all dedicated. Planned gifts from your estate can also allow you to make gifts much greater than might otherwise be possible. Some planned gifts can even provide income tax benefits for the donors and their heirs.
The ERF’s sole mission is to raise funds and manage assets to maximize funding for grants, awards, scholarships and education and research projects in nuclear medicine and molecular imaging in the name of our donors. We are a separate 501(c)(3) organization recognized by the IRS as a charity that does not engage in any lobbying activities. Hence, the tax-deductibility of donations to the ERF is never questioned, leaving the ERF free to focus on funding long-term needs in education and research for the field. You can help address these long-term needs by remembering the Foundation in your will.
We hope you will consider joining the ERF’s Legacy Club that honors individuals and families who have notified the ERF of their intention to include the Foundation in their estate plans. The Foundation has been the beneficiary of several such gifts. Regardless of the size, each has been critical to sustaining the quality education and research programs that help in recruiting new talent into our specialty. Through the planned gift vehicles you will find on these pages, there is an unprecedented opportunity to make a difference and leave your legacy for many years to come.
Your support of the ERF is of great value, and it is our goal to help you design a planned gift to the ERF that best suits the legacy you wish to leave for the field. Your legacy, your gift, your way!
Sincerely,
Hazem H. Chehabi, MD, FACNM, FACNP
