Postal
Mail
Donations may be made out to “National Minority AIDS Council”, and mailed
to the following address:
National Minority AIDS
Council, Development Division, 1931 13th Street,
NW, Washington, DC 20009-4432.
Please note: Donations made to the
National Minority AIDS Council (NMAC) are tax-deductible to the full extent of
the law.
Gifts-in-Kind
Please contact us,
donations@nmac.org, to discuss donations
of in-kind products or services. We cannot accept small, individual donations or
collections of items, such as food, clothes or cleaning supplies due to the cost
of sorting, packaging and distributing them. Bulk
donations—namely new, shrink-wrapped and palletized items transported by the
donor—are best. The tax benefits for
gifts-in-kind can be similar to gifts of money or securities. If the property is
used for NMAC's mission, the donor can deduct the property's full fair market
value, provided he/she has owned the property for more than a year. Otherwise,
the donor can deduct the property's cost basis, an amount which usually equals
the price the donor paid for the property.
Memorial
Gifts
A gift made in memory,
or in honor, of a loved one is a generous and thoughtful gesture to recognize a
person’s life and accomplishments. When an honorary or memorial gift is made,
the Development Division notifies the honoree or
next-of-kin.
To make an honorary
gift, send a letter indicating the purpose, as well as the name and
address of the honoree. For memorial gifts, if a memorial fund has not been
established, you should note somewhere on your check the name of the honoree, as
well as the address of the appropriate contact
person.
Matching
Gifts
One way to maximize
your gift to NMAC is to check with your employer's personnel department to see
if it is one of the many companies offering a matching gift program. By
following your company's guidelines, the value of your gift may be doubled or
tripled. Many companies make this benefit available to employees, their spouses,
retirees and board members.
Planned Giving/Bequest
Many of our supporters make
charitable gifts by naming NMAC as a beneficiary in their wills. The federal
government encourages these gifts or bequests, by allowing an unlimited estate
tax charitable deduction.
