Make a Matching Gift Donation
Many businesses match the charitable donations made by their employees with a corporate contribution, at no additional cost to you. To find out if your contribution can work twice as hard to help the Federalist Society:
- Ask your personnel office if your business has a matching gift program.
- If so, submit a request to your business to match your donation.
- Have your business mail the matching donation to:
The Federalist Society
ATTN: Development
1776 I Street NW
Suite 300
Washington, DC 20006
If you have any questions, please contact us at development@fedsoc.org.
Give a Gift of Stock
Like gifts of cash, gifts of stock are tax deductible, but they also carry an additional advantage. Stocks held over a year may have significantly increased in value, and if they are cashed out it can result in a heavy capital gains tax. If you donate this stock to the Federalist Society, you can avoid the capital gains tax on the increased value and you still may deduct the full fair market value of your stock gift on your income tax return.
To make a gift of stock to the Federalist Society:
- Tell your stock broker what kind of stock, and how many shares, you’d like to give.
- Ask your broker to either send the requisite information to our address below or email us at development@fedsoc.org to make arrangements.
- Please be sure to let us know so we can give you proper credit and send you a receipt for tax purposes.

Planned Giving
Did you know you pay no estate taxes on gifts you make to the Federalist Society through your will? A bequest to the Federalist Society can be a gift of a specific dollar amount, publicly traded stocks or securities, or a percentage of your estate. You can also name the Federalist Society as a contingent beneficiary if someone named in your will is no longer living at the time of your passing. A bequest to the Society is easy to arrange and can be made by including the following words in your will.
"I give, devise, and bequeath to The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies, 1776 I St. N.W., Suite 300, Washington, D.C. 20006, (insert amount of money, publicly traded stocks or securities, or percentage of estate) to be used for its educational purposes."
A bequest to the Society may be made in the form of cash or publicly traded stocks or securities. The Federalist Society can also be named as the beneficiary of assets which often pass outside of a will, such as IRAs, pension plans, or life insurance.
