Gifts of Stock, Qualified Charitable Distributions, Vehicle Donations, and Other Giving

Making a gift to the ACLU Foundation via stock, or other securities (such as bonds or mutual funds), allows you to have an immediate impact on the fight for civil liberties.

The total value of your gift is tax-deductible as long as it has been held for at least one year. There is no obligation to pay any capital gains tax on the appreciated value. The gift is fully deductible as of the date it arrives in our account.

Please provide your broker with the following information:

DTC #: 0164 (code 40)
Account Name: American Civil Liberties Union Foundation, Inc.
Account #: 1888-7097
Brokerage: Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.

Note: When a stock transfer is made, we are not always given information identifying the donor. Please send us an email to notify us of the transfer so we can ensure we are responsibly handling your gift and thanking you for your generosity.

Federal law allows people age 70½ or older to make direct transfers up to $111,000 per year per person to charitable organizations from their Individual Retirement Account (IRA), without the withdrawal being treated as taxable income. The withdrawal can be counted toward your required minimum distribution.

Most IRA charitable gifts are made by asking your IRA custodian (e.g, Fidelity, Schwab, or Vanguard) to send the contribution directly to the ACLU of Indiana Foundation. If you have a self-directed “Checkbook IRA,” you have the option to make the gift yourself.

Here is the information you will need:
