Support us

As a charity, we rely on our supporters to help raise awareness of CACNA1C-related disorders including Timothy Syndrome and LongQT8.

Spreading awareness and funding more research is crucial to improving diagnosis, treatment and care.

There are many ways you can help, such as:

• make a donation
• support us while you shop online
• leave a gift in your will
• follow us on Facebook
• create a fundraiser on Facebook
• share our short film

Make a donation

All funds raised go directly towards helping families affected by CACNA1C-related disorders including Timothy Syndrome and LongQT8 all over the world. We don’t pay any wages or bonuses.

With the help of your donations, we are able to:

• hold our family day event and conferences
• provide reliable information to people who need it, online and in print
• maintain our worldwide CACNA1C patient registry to drive research.

Donate in the US

All donations via our GlobalGiving project page are tax-deductible for donors who are US taxpayers, and all projects on GlobalGiving.org have been pre-qualified for 501(c)(3) equivalency status.

Donate in the UK

As a registered charity, Timothy Syndrome Alliance can claim Gift Aid. If you are a UK taxpayer, we can claim an extra 25p from HMRC for every £1 you donate. Gift Aid can be processed via CAF, who we trust to handle the processing of our online payments. GlobalGiving can also process Gift Aid.

Share our short film

We made a short film to introduce people to Timothy Syndrome and to tell some of our stories.

We were honoured to win the award for ‘Best Aspiring Filmmaker – Voluntary Group Collaboration’ at the Rare Film Festival | Rare Disease UK.

The film also received official selection for Disorder: The Rare Disease Film Festival. After the festival was postponed due to COVID, the film was added to the Disorder Channel on Amazon Fire and Roku.

The film won a Bronze Award at the PM Society Digital Awards 2020, a Silver at the 2021 PM Society Awards and was a Finalist at the International Rare Disease Film Festival – Berlin.

By sharing this film, you can help us continue to raise awareness.
