Help Change the Face of TMJ

Private donors cover our operating costs, so you can give knowing your whole gift will go towards advocating for patients.

We are the ONLY patient advocacy organization fighting for the best science that will lead to a greater understanding of Temporomandibular and related disorders and treatments that will help and not harm patients.
We cannot change the face of TMJ without YOU. Make a tax-deductible contribution today! Your contribution is more than a donation. It is how we will ensure that TMJ patients have a voice —  through education, patient support and advocacy.
We cannot do this important work without you!  Help us to continue our progress towards advancing research, public awareness and safe and effective treatments for this debilitating condition. Thank you for your generosity!

Consider a planned gift to The TMJ Association. Planned giving takes into careful consideration both your family’s financial needs and your personal charitable goals, allowing you to leave a portion of your assets to The TMJ Association in your will, trust, beneficiary designation in your retirement accounts, insurance contract or planned gift arrangement.

Simply name The TMJ Association as a beneficiary of a sum of money, or a percentage of your estate in your will or living trust. This revocable gift allows you the flexibility to revise your wishes over time as life circumstances change.

Sample bequest language:

  • Specific: I give $_____ (number spelled out) to The TMJ Association, present address at P.O. Box 26770, Milwaukee, WI 53226-0770.
  • Fraction: I give The TMJ Association ______% (fraction spelled out) of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, after payment of all specified bequests, expenses, taxes, and debts, to The TMJ Association, present address at P.O. Box 26770, Milwaukee, WI 53226-0770.

Life insurance is a low-cost, simple way to make a significant planned gift. Do you have a life insurance policy that you no longer need now that your children are out of college and on their own? Name the TMJ Association as a partial, contingent, full beneficiary or even the owner of your policy.

Designate The TMJ Association as a full or partial beneficiary of your qualified retirement plan (IRA, 401(k), 403(b)) using a beneficiary form.
