Dear John,

As we fight to end the gun lobby’s stranglehold on our political system, we will need to mobilize our resources to bring an end to this uniquely American epidemic.

Over the last two years, we have seen many people change the way they give to have a greater impact at less cost. We invite you to explore these strategies that will help GIFFORDS Law Center fight gun violence through policy change:

• Donating shares of stock or mutual funds that are appreciated can give you a full income tax deduction and eliminate all capital gains taxes on those shares.
• If you are over 70.5 years old, you’re eligible to make a gift out of your IRA account. These save you from having to pay any income taxes when you donate those funds directly to us. These gifts also help to satisfy your required minimum distribution if you’re 73 or older.
  
• If you have a donor-advised fund, we can help you think about how to put it to best use. More people are making grants from their donor-advised funds to protect their post-tax wealth.
• We now accept cryptocurrency donations! This additional way to fund our work can also offer benefits, such as zero capital gains taxes on those shares.

We invested in FreeWill’s trusted giving platform to help you learn more about the tax benefits of supporting GIFFORDS Law Center and to make your contributions in just minutes.

In solidarity,
Chris
