FAQ

Q: Are donations tax deductible?

Yes. We have setup a registered 501c(3) non-profit called Lydian Accelerator (EIN: 83-4634227). Donations are tax deductible to the extent the law allows. Before receiving this status, we had raised under the status of our fiscal sponsor Hopewell Fund. If you would like a receipt for your donation and have not received one, please email us at receipts@lydianaccelerator.org.

Q: How do I take advantage of company matching?

We have already populated links for common companies that provide matching on our donation page. After you have donated, please search for “Lydian Accelerator” in your internal giving site to match donations.

Q: Where is this money going?

This money will cover the research and development towards a breakthrough ASO treatment. You can read more about the process on this page.

Q: Why is this not a for-profit company?

This is a question we get often. For now, we are convinced that the fastest way to get different scientists involved and get regulatory approval, is to do this with no profit agenda. We are also likely to have an outsized impact for others if we can share our learnings openly with little need for corporate secrecy.
