  • Giving through a donor-advised fund (DAF) is an increasingly popular way for donors to make gifts to VoteAmerica and other charities. VoteAmerica accepts gifts from all DAF platforms. VoteAmerica’s EIN is 84-3442002 and our legal name is “VoteAmerica Inc.”

    Please email finance@voteamerica.org if you have any questions or need help.

  • By contributing non-cash assets to a charity (such as stocks), individuals generally do not pay capital gains tax on the sale of assets that have been held for more than one year. This can increase the amount available for charity by up to 20% compared to selling the assets and donating the proceeds. You get to write off 100% of the market value of the stock, and we liquidate things on our end and receive the full value. It’s a win-win.

    VoteAmerica has partnered with StockDonator to process stock donations. It takes less than 10 minutes to donate stock to VoteAmerica (or any other charity).

    If you need help in any way, please email finance@voteamerica.org and we will guide you through the process.

    Giving from your IRA is a smart way to achieve your charitable goals and receive income tax benefits. Current tax law allows you to donate to VoteAmerica and other charities directly from your individual retirement account starting at age 70.5. This is called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). These donations can be made from the following IRAs: Traditional IRA, Rollover IRA, Inherited IRA, SEP IRA (inactive only), and SIMPLE IRA (inactive only). You cannot make a Qualified Charitable Distribution from a 401(k), 403(b) or Keogh plan during your lifetime.

    Qualified Charitable Distributions reduce your income that is taxed when you have to take required minimum distributions (RMDs) starting at age 72. You can make QCDs up to $100,000 each year, and the amount will be excluded from gross income.

    One important note: under the new SECURE ACT, you can make a QCD at age 70.5 even though you do not have to take a RMD until age 72. In fact, if you think you will face significant taxes when your RMD begins at age 72, making QCDs beginning at 70.5 can reduce the overall amount in your IRA.

    To make a gift to VoteAmerica from your IRA, follow these steps:

    1. Consider your finances and charitable goals. If you are or coming up to the age of 72 and face RMDs, factor in how receiving your RMD will impact your overall income and, therefore, your taxes.

    2. Contact your IRA trustee to find out more about its process for arranging qualified charitable distributions.

    3. Notify your IRA trustee that you want to make a qualified charitable distribution, and fill out the required paperwork from the trustee. Please instruct them to provide your name and address on the QCD paperwork so we can provide the required receipt needed for your taxes.

    The check should be made to VoteAmerica, Inc. and mailed directly to:
