Your donation still means a charitable giving tax deduction for you (if you itemize), AND you would avoid the capital gains tax you would otherwise pay by selling the shares yourself. EESI sells donated securities upon receipt to generate funds for our mission. As a nonprofit, EESI won't owe capital gains tax either. To transfer your securities to EESI, please contact us at (202) 662-1887 or <a href="mailto:development@eesi.org">development@eesi.org</a> for our brokerage information so you can provide it to your financial institution to initiate the transfer/donation. As always, check with your tax adviser about your particular situation. </p> <p> </p> <h3><a id="ira" name="ira"></a>Donate Your IRA Required Minimum Distributions to EESI </h3> <p>If you are at least 72 years of age, you can get a charitable giving tax deduction (if you itemize) AND avoid paying taxes on all or part of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from your traditional IRA, by having your IRA trustee transfer all or part of the RMD directly to EESI (a 501c3 charity) as a donation (up to $100,000). This is your required minimum distribution but it doesn't increase your adjusted gross income. This may have tax advantages for you if you do not itemize your deductions. Please have your account holder direct a sum to EESI -- and please ask them to pass along your preferred means of contact (address, email). We need this information to thank you and provide a receipt. Please contact EESI (development@eesi.org or 202-662-1887) for any questions. You could reap significant additional tax benefits of donating from giving in this manner.</p> <p> </p> <h3><a id="bequest" name="bequest"></a>Remember EESI in your Will, Insurance Policy, Estate Plan, or IRA</h3> <p>There are many creative ways to support solutions to climate issues and take care of you and your loved ones at the same time. Including EESI as a beneficiary in your estate means that sustainable energy will be part of your legacy.</p> <p>Planned giving can be as simple as naming EESI as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or Individual Retirement Account. You can also include EESI in your will or estate plan.</p> <p>EESI is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. Your gifts are fully tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law. <a href="/files/Planned-Giving-to-EESI.pdf" target="_blank"><strong>Click here</strong></a> for more information on planned giving and for helpful language to share with your attorney.</p> <p>Tax ID Number (or Employer Identification Number (<strong>EIN</strong>)) is: <strong>52-1268030</strong></p> <p>Environmental and Energy Study Institute<br /> 1020 19th Street NW, <span style="background-color:#FFFF00;">Suite 400</span><br /> Washington, D.C. 20036</p> <p><span style="color:#0000FF;"><strong>Please note our new suite number!</strong></span></p> <p>Please <a href="https://www.eesi.org/donate/planned-giving" target="_blank"><strong>click here</strong></a> to find out about joining our <strong>Legacy Giving Society</strong>!</p> <p> </p> <h3><a id="briefing" name="briefing"></a>Sponsor a Live-Streamed Congressional Briefing or Briefing Series</h3> <p><img alt="" src="/images/content/Generic_Briefing_Image_3.JPG" style="width: 400px; height: 205px; float: right; margin-left: 10px;" />Policymakers appreciate EESI for bringing together diverse panels of respected experts on key policy topics on Capitol Hill. Congressional staff and other members of the policy community—including nonprofits and the media—attend the 20+ Congressional briefings we organize every year. A few years ago, due to popular request, we began to livecast our briefings on the web, extending our audience to interested people across the country. EESI receives no Congressional support for organizing such timely, important panels—you can help us continue this critical public service by sponsoring a briefing or a series of briefings today!
