Giving to Heritage

METHODS OF GIVING
Gifts to The Heritage Foundation are tax-deductible. The Heritage Foundation typically receives gifts in the form of checks, credit cards, gifts of stock, and extate or planned gifts.

In addition, some Heritage members decide to make special gifts to support a particular scholar, program, or activity through a one-time gift, a multi year pledge, or an endowment.

The Heritage Foundation Development Office staff can help tailor a gift that helps Heritage and fulfills your long-term charitible and financial goals. Please call (800) 546-2843.

HERITAGE LEADER’S CLUB
Leader’s Club members contribute to our shared goals and beliefs in the safeest, most cost-effective way. Your contribution of any amount is electronically debited from your checking account each month and deposited directly into The Heritage Foundation’s operating fund to be put to work immediately–while sparing you the hassle of postage and paperwork.

Here’s all you have to do to join the Leader’s Club: Sign up on our secure Web site, MyHeritage.org/LeadersClub.

Or you can mail a voided check to:

The Heritage Foundation
ATTN: Membership Office
214 Massachusetts Ave., N.E.
Washington, DC 20002

with the amount you would like deducted each month. It’s that simple.

Your fully tax-deductible gifts also helps us vastly reduce our fundraising costs. And if you’d like to increase, decrease, or stop your Leader’s Club membership, all you have to do is call our Membership Office at (800) 546-2843 or e-mail us at membership@heritage.org.

MAKE A STOCK GIFT
Stock gifts are a popular way to help because they also help YOU. The IRS allows you to make stock transfers to Heritage without recognizing capital gains on the appreciation. In other words, you could make a larger donation than you could with cash–by “buying low” and “giving high.”

What’s more, if you have held the stock for 12 months or longer, you receive a charitible deduction for the stocks full value.

Here’s all you have to do:

Call Heritage’s Membership Office at (800) 546-2843, give us your name and phone number, and let us know the stock name and number of shares you are giving (e.g., 50 shares of Microsoft).
Call your broker with the information below and ask your broker to contact Sun Trust Bank.

You–or your broker–can find more information online at MyHeritage.org/stocktransfer.
