Some prion disease foundations that could use donations in ANY amount to help in prion disease research. CJD Foundation: https://cjdfoundation.org Prion Alliance (Sonia Vallabh's non-profit from the TED Talk clip): https://www.prionalliance.org This is a very under-funded disease that could use every dollar.
