ENDING ALS STARTS WITH YOU
Bold action drives ALS research and life-saving breakthroughs. Your gift is where it all begins.
Ending ALS starts with one action: yours.
Together, we’re working to raise $500,000 by December 31st, to fund groundbreaking discoveries, enable collaboration among scientists around the world, and conduct research that brings new treatments within reach.
Ending ALS starts here. It starts with you.
“I wake up every day and I’m immediately reminded that this is happening. It’s not a dream. Still, I don’t think this is the end of my story. I don’t feel like this is the end of me. But we can make this the end of ALS.
I chose to support Target ALS because I know that this organization is making the most headway in developing effective treatments, and I want to play my part in making that possible. I hope you do too.”

Frequently asked questions about how you power progress
What is the goal of the “Ending ALS Starts with You” Campaign?
Our goal is to raise $500,000 by December 31st to accelerate research, drive scientific collaboration, and bring new ALS treatments within reach.
How will my gift to the “Ending ALS Starts with You” campaign make an impact?
Your gift supports groundbreaking ALS research projects, provides access to scientific tools and resources through our Research Cores, and powers our own clinical studies through the ALS Global Research Initiative (AGRI). Every dollar goes where it’s needed most, accelerating progress toward effective treatments and a future where Everyone Lives.
What happens if the $500,000 goal is met early?
ALS doesn’t quit, and neither do we. Reaching our goal early doesn’t mean we’re stopping there. Every additional dollar donated during the “Ending ALS Starts with You” campaign will continue to support our research initiatives and help us go even further in 2026.
What happens if the $500,000 goal is not met?
Even if we don’t reach the full $500,000 goal, every dollar raised will still go directly toward advancing ALS research. Each gift helps drive the mission forward, funding critical studies, enabling collaboration, and pushing promising treatments closer to reality. Your support matters deeply, no matter the campaign’s final total.
Is this campaign part of a larger initiative?
This campaign is part of our ongoing commitment to breaking down barriers to ALS research to find effective treatments. Donations made during the “Ending ALS Starts with You” campaign will provide critical momentum and help us overcome the challenges that have hindered progress in ALS treatments.
Can I dedicate my donation in honor or memory of someone affected by ALS?
Absolutely. A gift to Target ALS can be a beautiful way to celebrate the life or memory of a loved one.
Are there special matching gift opportunities during this campaign?
