Donations

Donations to the Education Fund are used for educational and informational activities. They are tax deductible under section 501c(3) of the tax code. (Taxpayer ID #46-2821816)

Activities of the Education Fund include:

• Speaker’s Bureau presentations
• Voter Guide – online and print
• Educating voters about registering and elections
• Election Forums
• Presentations regarding civics and government

Donations to the Advocacy Fund are important for the League to operate. Because this fund is 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

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.

QCD can be made:

•   Electronically directly to LWVPBC Education Fund. Contact Us for directions.

•   By check made payable to LWVPBC Education Fund, 9314 Forest Hills Blvd, Wellington, FL 33411-6577.
