9/11 Families - Donate to the Association

Donate


The September 11th Widows and Victims Families’ Association, Inc. 
a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit  organization supports victims of terrorism and 
their families through  education, communication and peer support.


The Tribute WTC Visitor Center, a program of the Association, connects and 
educates visitors with personal experiences of terrorism.  Programs,  
exhibitions, and tours lead by volunteers who experienced the effects of 
terrorism  first hand convey personal and varied perspectives and 
inspirational acts of  generosity.  Programs inspire understanding and 
compassion among cultures.

Your 100% tax-deductible gift to the annual fund will help ensure programs 
that educate future generations. Gifts to the Annual Fund are also a   
wonderful way to honor or memorialize someone. We will acknowledge your   
contribution with a note informing the family member or friend you designate.   
Contributions of $500 or more are acknowledged in the Association’s annual 
list of donors.

to   nonprofit organizations. If your company has a matching gift program, 
your   contribution to the Association can be generously increased and will 
further   support the Association’s mission. Simply request a matching gift 
form from your employer, complete the donor section, and send it along

Donate Securities
We accept gifts of stock. It's a simple process. Next to cash, appreciated   
securities that are readily marketable are the assets most commonly donated 
to the Association. When you donate appreciated securities, you generally 
do not   realize any capital gains tax. If you itemize your federal income 
deductions, you may also receive a federal income tax charitable 
deduction (up to 30% of  your AGI with a five-year carryover) for the 
security's full fair market value  if you have held it long-term (i.e., for 
longer than twelve months). If the   donated securities were held 
short-term (i.e., twelve months or less), only your cost basis is 
deductible. Because of the potential double tax savings, a gift of   
appreciated securities usually has a lower after-tax cost than an 
equivalent gift of cash.

Planned Giving


Planned giving and bequests are essential to ensuring that we will continue   
to serve the September 11th community and to educate visitors. Please call   
1-212-422-3520 ext 117 for information regarding planned giving and bequests.   
Members and friends may support the Association in a number of ways. The 
giving opportunities range from gifts of cash and securities to life income 
gifts and sophisticated estate-planning vehicles that have favorable financial 
and tax benefits.

The term "planned giving" refers to any major gift that 
involves financial or   estate planning. Such gifts can provide important 
benefits both to you and to   the Association. The different types of planned 
gifts include bequests, life income plans (charitable gift annuities and 
charitable remainder trusts),charitable lead trusts and gifts of life insurance 
policies.
