I'm one of the volunteers at the Brain Preservation Foundation. Although sooner is always better, there isn't a specific reason why now is better than 2 weeks in the future. If you need the money for an emergency fund, I'd wait to donate.
The page describing the need for our current fundraising campaign is here: http://www.brainpreservation.org/content/letter-president-brain-preservation-foundation
Thank you for that. It looks like I do indeed have a new job, so as soon as the paycheck comes in I will not need to dip into the emergency fund.
By the way, do you happen to know what would happen if the funding didn't come about? Would you dip into the prize fund, or simply hold off on testing until you got sufficient funding.
I can't speak authoritatively, but I think testing would have to be put on hold.
The $100,000 for the prize fund is pledged specifically for when the prize is won, so there's no easy way to change that.
