Giving Appreciated Assets

Making a gift of stock is an easy and advantageous way to provide for the ACLU of Indiana Foundation. A gift of appreciated securities that you have owned for at least one year is tax-deductible for its full market value up to 30% of your adjusted gross income. You are also able to avoid capital gains tax on the transferred securities.

We partner with the national ACLU affiliate to manage stock transfers. After arranging for your contribution of stock, please notify us via email of the transfer so we can properly steward your gift and thank you for your generosity.  Stock that is transferred electronically typically does not identify the person initiating the transfer.

To transfer stock electronically, please provide the following information to your broker:

DTC #: 0164 (code 40)
Account Name: American Civil Liberties Union Foundation, Inc.
Account #: 1888-7097
Brokerage: Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
IRS EIN #: 13-6213516

• Provide critical support for our work
• Tax-free withdrawal
• Fulfill your Required Minimum Distribution

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:

Organization Name: ACLU of Indiana Foundation

Tax ID # (EIN): 23-7398358

Address:
1031 East Washington Street
Indianapolis, IN 46202

It’s easy. It’s tax deductible. Any car accepted. Free pick-up.

Support the ACLU of Indiana Foundation by donating your unwanted car, truck, or motorcycle. When you make a donation, our partners at CARS will contact you and arrange to pick up your vehicle. It is then resold at an auction, and the proceeds are donated to the ACLU of Indiana.

Create your own Legacy of Liberty by leaving a gift in your will, beneficiary designation or charitable gift annuity.
