Participate in Your Employee Gift-Matching Program

Some employers offer gift-matching programs for qualified charities, meaning they’ll match the amount of your donation up to a certain amount. This can effectively double your contribution and make twice the impact!

You can search Charity Navigator’s databaseto see if your employer offers gift or matching or check with your HR department.

If your organization or company uses a matching gift platform, submit your request by entering AFJ’s EIN (52-1009973).

Please notify us if you initiate an employer matching gift to ensure we properly acknowledge your and your company’s generosity.”

Send your employer’s completed and signed matching gift form to:

Donate Stocks

If you’re looking for a tax-savvy way to donate to charity, consider donating shares of stock. There are many benefits to donating stock, including saving on capital gains and income taxes. And due to these tax savings, your donation can be larger, making your dollar go further than if you were to sell the stock and donate cash.

To donate stock, please provide your broker with the following information:

Bank Name: U.S. BankDTC #: 2803Broker A/C Name: Alliance for Justice IMA Account Number: 1-09490Bank Address: Boston Trust & Investment Management Company | Walden Asset ManagementOne Beacon St, 33rd Floor | Boston, MA 02108

We want to ensure all gifts to AFJ are properly received and acknowledged, so please email development@afj.org or call 202-822-6070 when you initiate a stock donation  and provide the following information about the gift:

  • Name of the stock
  • Number of shares
  • Your name and address
Create a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)

A Donor-Advised Fund, or DAF, is an investment account where all the assets you invest are donated to charity. Anything you contribute to the fund — including cash, stocks, and cryptocurrency — is managed and invested by a sponsoring organization. Your contributions will grow tax-free, and over time you can recommend grants from your fund to qualifying charities.

When you contribute to a DAF, you can qualify for an income tax deduction for the amount you contribute in that tax year. You can choose which organizations you’d like to support and when those donations should be made.

Donations to a DAF are irrevocable. This means that once you contribute assets, you can’t withdraw them and use them for a different purpose. They must be donated in support of a qualifying charity.

Consult with your investment advisor to find out how to establish a donor-advised fund.

Make Qualified Charitable Distributions from Your Retirement Account

People 70.5 and older can donate funds from their IRA accounts directly to qualifying nonprofits. This type of gift is called a Qualified Charitable Distribution, or QCD.

To make a QCD, you’ll have to fill out an IRA Charitable Distribution Form and submit it to your IRA custodian (the institution that manages your account). You’ll need your account information and AFJ’s tax identification or EIN number (52-1009973) for the form.
