How to Give

• Our secure online donation form allows you to designate your gift to the institution and/or program of your choice. This is the most efficient way to make an immediate difference.
• Tax-Wise Giving:  A gift of long-term appreciated stock (more than one year) allows you to avoid capital gains tax.  When itemizing your deductions, you can deduct the fair market value of the stock.  If you choose this option, please submit a completed stock gift form (PDF) and contact us at 202-334-2431 so that we can accurately credit your contribution.
• Planned gifts such as bequests, charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, and retirement plans represent your current commitment to our nation's long-term future.
• Your gift may be eligible for matching dollars if a corporation or foundation with a matching gifts program employs you or a family member. This is a fantastic way to double your donation!
• Our printable donation form provides an easy way to mail or fax your gift. To make your gift via telephone, please be ready to provide the information on the donation form and then call the Development Office at (202) 334-2431.
