Donations to the Advocacy Fund are important for the League to operate. However, because this fund falls under 501c(4) of the tax code, donations are not tax deductible.

The work of the Advocacy Fund includes:

•   Advocacy for League positions

•   Work to protect and defend our democracy

•   Obtaining signatures on petitions

To keep funds donated to the Advocacy Fund separate from tax-deductible donations to other funds, we recommend that you make your donation by check as follows:

IRA owners over age 70½ can designate their required minimum distribution (RMD) be made to the LWVPBC Education Fund as a qualified charitable distribution (QCD). Doing so avoids the directly donated portion of their RMD from being taxable income, up to $105,000.

In addition to avoiding tax on the amount of the RMD, QCDs can help donors whose RMD would otherwise push them into a higher income tax bracket, and it may prevent phaseouts of other tax deductions. Consult your tax professional about the benefits and requirements.

To make a QCD, your check must go directly from your IRA Custodian to the LWVPBC. Do not click the Donate button below. Do not send a personal check.

•   Your IRA Custodian can Contact Us for directions.

•   Make checks payable to LWVPBC Education Fund, 9314 Forest Hills Blvd, Ste 770, Wellington, FL 33411-6577.
