Donate through Your Donor-Advised Fund
The Tax Foundation is eligible to receive gifts from your donor-advised fund, sometimes known as a giving fund. Common fund administrators include Vanguard Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Fidelity Charitable, National Christian Foundation, DonorsTrust, and the Bradley Impact Fund.Use our convenient tool below to automatically advise a gift from your fund.
Don’t see your fund administrator listed in the tool? No problem! Simply contact your administrator and advise them you would like a gift made to the Tax Foundation using our EIN: 52-1703065.
Increase Your Impact through Employer-Matched Gifts
Many corporations agree to match the personal charitable donations of their employees with an equal or greater corporate contribution. Businesses also often match the charitable donations made by spouses or those who retired from the company. At no additional cost to you, your contribution can work twice as hard to help the Tax Foundation continue to support sound tax policy.
How it Works
Please locate your employer using the search form below to see if they provide matching gifts, and to receive instructions on how to double your donation to the Tax Foundation.
Transferring securities to the Tax Foundation allows you to make a gift and receive a charitable deduction equal to the full, fair market value of the securities. You pay no capital gains on your gift and neither does the Tax Foundation.
The best method of transferring these assets to the Tax Foundation is to contact your broker and electronically transfer them from your account to the Tax Foundation’s account. Avoid selling the assets and then making a gift of the proceeds, because this will trigger a capital gains liability for you.
For the Tax Foundation to acknowledge your gift and provide you with an IRS receipt, please take the following steps:
Call or email our development staff at (202) 464-5109 orDevelopment@taxfoundation.org and let us know that you would like to make a gift of stock.
Please be prepared to provide your name, phone number, and address for acknowledgment purposes, as well as the name of the stock you are giving and the number of shares (e.g., 20 shares of Microsoft).
Tax Foundation staff will provide you with the necessary account information to share with your broker to complete the transfer.

Take advantage of the opportunity to make a direct gift from a qualified IRA account to the Tax Foundation.
Here are the basics of how charitable rollovers work:
You must be age 70½ or older at the time of the gift.
Transfers must be made directly from a traditional IRA account by your IRA administrator to the Tax Foundation. Funds that are withdrawn by you and then contributed do NOT qualify. Gifts from 401k, 403b, SEP, and other plans do not qualify.
Gifts must be outright. Distributions to donor-advised funds or life-income arrangements such as charitable remainder trusts and charitable gift annuities do not qualify.
Qualified charitable distributions can total up to $100,000 annually and count towards your minimum required distribution for the year from your IRA.
If you are interested in making this type of charitable donation, please contact your financial advisor to begin the rollover process. For more details, see our in-depth guide at the link below.
