Support Alcor this Giving Tuesday

Dear Alcor Members and Friends, 

This Giving Tuesday comes at a pivotal moment for cryonics. The field is advancing more rapidly than ever, with new preservation techniques being developed, response capabilities expanding, and international interest growing. At Alcor, we’re working to ensure these advances translate into better outcomes for our members and faster advancement of the science for the greater good. 

For those who’ve been following our recent updates, you know that 2024 has been a year of unprecedented growth and improvement at Alcor. If you haven’t had a chance to read about these changes in our latest newsletter, you can find it here. 

This December marks a decisive moment as we prepare to launch several critical initiatives: 

• Following the success of establishing Alcor Canada, we are conducting feasibility studies for opening Alcor’s first European facility, expanding access to cryopreservation across the world.  

• Having acquired additional space at Alcor’s headquarters and renovating the space for a state-of-the-art engineering innovation, we now need to acquire new equipment to research, develop and validate improved preservation techniques, such as ITS (intermediate temperature storage) and field cryopreservation. 

• Expanding our hardship fund to assist aging members, whose foresight helped establish and maintain Alcor over the years, while maintaining their arrangements when they need them most. 

Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing detailed updates about each of these initiatives and launching specific directed donation campaigns to support them. We look forward to showing you exactly how your support can help advance each of these important projects. 

This Giving Tuesday, make your impact on cryonics known through your support of Alcor by: 

• Contributing to our general administrative fund, to support essential staff expansion. 

• Helping to equip our new research lab with cutting-edge tools and specialized equipment.   

• Enhancing our emergency response capabilities to ensure faster and more effective deployments worldwide. 

Every step forward in cryonics – whether in research, infrastructure, or accessibility – strengthens our ability to serve our members and advance our mission. Your support makes these advances possible. Thank you for considering being part of this important work. 
 
Sincerely, 
The Alcor Team
