Advocacy Fund - Donations are Not Tax Deductible

The Advocacy Fund of the League of Women Voters of Palm Beach County is involved with direct and grassroots lobbying.

Donations to the Advocacy Fund are important, but because the Fund is a 501(c4) organization, donations to it are not tax deductible.

If you would like to make a donation to the Advocacy Fund for lobbying activities, there are two options:
1- Make a check payable to LWVPBC Advocacy Fund and mail it to:
LWVPBC Advocacy Fund
9314 Forest Hill Blvd. Ste 640
Wellington, FL 33411-6577

2- Contact the League's Assistant Treasurer and discuss your donation directly: Dawn Weir - treasurer@lwvpbc.org

Qualified Charitable Distribution

IRA owners over age 70½ can designate that their required minimum distribution be made to the Education Fund of the League of Women Voters of Palm Beach County as a Qualified Charitable Distribution. Doing so avoids the directly donated portion of their required minimum distribution from being taxable income, up to $105,000 per individual, or $210,000 for married couples filing jointly.

In addition to avoiding tax on the amount of the required minimum distribution, Qualified Charitable Distributions can help donors whose required minimum distribution 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.

A Qualified Charitable Distribution can be made in two ways:
1- Electronically, directly to LWVPBC Education Fund.
Contact the League's Assistant Treasurer for specific information: treasurer@lwvpbc.org

2- By a direct check from your IRA Custodian made payable to:
       LWVPBC Education Fund
       9314 Forest Hill Blvd. Ste 770
       Wellington, FL 33411-6577
