Donate
FairVote's reform successes are made possible through the support of loyal donors, many of whom have given since our start in 1992. For an overview of our impact, please take a look at our 2020 message to supporters that includes handouts with 2020 highlights and our strategy for the future.
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, which means your contributions are tax-deductible. Our donation page is a simple way to give via credit card; we present other giving options below. For any questions relating to donations to FairVote, please contact [email protected]
Other ways to give
- AB Charities - As an alternative to our main online donation page, we also accept online donations through AB Charities.
-
Checks - Checks may be made out to FairVote and mailed to 6930 Carroll Ave., Suite 240, Takoma Park, MD, 20912.
- Qualified Charitable Distributions - You can make a tax-free IRA donation to FairVote. If you have any questions about this process, contact [email protected]
- Gift of Stock - If you own stock, it can be fiscally sensible to contribute it directly rather than cash. A gift of appreciated stock both avoids a capital gains tax and provides a charitable deduction.
- Gifts of Real Estate - A residence, vacation home or acreage may have appreciated in value through the years so that giving it to FairVote would avoid a capital gains tax and still provide the benefits of a (large!) charitable deduction.
- Bequests - Depending on your wealth, federal and state estate taxes can take a large share of one’s estate. Even if there is no tax benefit for you, we hope you will consider a charitable bequest to FairVote in your will – and let us know of your plans.
- Employer Matching - Some employers will match or even double-match charitable gifts. If your company has such a program, please enclose the form along with your gift.
-
Donor-Advised Funds - We welcome donors to recommend grants from their donor-advised fund, also known as a DAF, directly from our website.
- Other Online Giving Platforms - We accept gifts through Amazon Smile, Facebook and the Network for Good:
Donor privacy is important to us. You can find our donor privacy policy here.
