Can I make a Qualified Charitable Distribution through my IRA to the ACLU Foundation?
Thank you for your interest in making a Qualified Charitable Distribution from your IRA to the ACLU Foundation. We are so grateful that you are considering such a thoughtful gift.
If you are age 70½ or older you can make a direct transfer from your IRA to the ACLU Foundation of up to $100,000 annually, without the withdrawal being classified as taxable income. Please note that the transfer does not qualify for an income tax charitable deduction.
To make your charitable gift, contact the financial institution that holds your IRA and instruct them to make a “qualified charitable distribution” to the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation, Inc. Also instruct them to include your name and address with the check.
The check with your name and address should be mailed to:
American Civil Liberties Union Foundation, Inc.
Attn: Gift Processing – IRA Distribution
125 Broad St., 18th Fl.
New York, NY 10004
The ACLU Foundation Tax ID# is: 13-6213516. Additional information is also available at www.aclu.org/IRA.
To ensure that we can properly acknowledge your gift, please notify the ACLU Donor Relations team by visiting our Contact form. Choose “my one-time gift” and “make a gift of stock, QCD or IRA gift, DAF grant, or donate in another alternative way” from the dropdown menus, and send us a message. One of our donor relations associates will usually respond within 48 hours (excluding holidays and weekends) and confirm receipt of your message.
Please send us:
- your gift amount
- your name and address
- the name of the financial institution sending your gift
- the check number (if known)
- the date when the check was sent (if known)
From all of us at the ACLU, thank you for your support and all you do!
