Alzheimer’s Semipostal Fundraising Stamp

Why purchase the Alzheimer’s Semipostal Stamp from USPS:

• • Supports research: Each stamp costs a little more than a regular First-Class Forever Stamp. The difference (the “fundraising amount”) goes directly to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to fund Alzheimer’s disease research.

  • Same mailing power: Even though it costs more, it still functions as a First-Class Forever Stamp, so it covers standard first-class postage.

  • Easy way to contribute: Buying the stamp is a simple way for individuals to support Alzheimer’s research without making a separate donation.

  • Raises awareness: Every time the stamp is used on mail, it helps remind recipients about the importance of Alzheimer’s research and care.

• Strong reasons why NARFE members should consider purchasing the Alzheimer’s Semipostal Stamp:

  1. Direct Connection to NARFE’s Mission

     • NARFE has long supported Alzheimer’s research as a national cause, raising millions of dollars toward finding a cure. Buying these stamps is another way for members to contribute to that mission personally.

  2. Everyday Action, Big Impact

     • Members already use stamps for mailing—choosing the Alzheimer’s stamp means that a routine purchase doubles as a charitable act.

  3. Funds Stay Focused on Research

     • The extra cost above regular postage goes directly to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to fund Alzheimer’s research—a cause NARFE is deeply committed to.

  4. Raising Awareness in the Community

     • Each letter mailed with the Alzheimer’s stamp helps spread awareness. It becomes a visible reminder of NARFE’s dedication to helping find a cure.

  5. Supports Families and Members Affected

     • Alzheimer’s disease personally touches many NARFE members and their families. Buying the stamp is a way to honor loved ones and show solidarity with those facing this challenge.
