The Breathing Association is grateful for all donations. Your contribution will help us fulfill our mission of serving the community as the leading resource for promoting lung health and preventing lung disease through education, detection and service.

All donations are acknowledged to you in writing by mail. 100% of your donation stays in central Ohio to help Ohioans. Gifts to The Breathing Association are 100% tax deductible. Donations can be made in memory or in honor of someone special.

Are you making a contribution as a gift on someone’s behalf? Simply check the box labeled “Dedicate this gift” located just above the “Give” button. Once selected, we’ll mail you a card to present to the recipient, letting them know that your thoughtful gift is helping someone breathe easier.

You can donate online or by mail. Thank you for your support!

Are you donating today as a gift for someone? Let us know in the notes section of the donation process how many people you are providing gifts for, and we will mail you cards to include in a greeting card or to wrap as a gift to give them, so that they know that you have given someone the gift of breathing easy on their behalf. It is the gift that always fits and they cannot have enough of!
