Tax-Smart Giving

There are many meaningful ways to support the American Brain Tumor Association beyond a one-time donation. Choose the option that aligns with your financial goals while advancing research and patient services.

— Monthly Recurring Gifts —

Monthly donations provide a consistent, steady impact in a way that fits your budget.

— Give Through DAFs, Stocks, and IRAs —

Donor-Advised Funds (DAF)

Donor-advised funds (DAFs) are a flexible, easy, tax-efficient way to support the ABTA. Because contributions are already tax-advantaged, your gift can go further.

Give Stock

Donating appreciated securities may provide tax advantages while supporting ABTA’s mission. It can also help you avoid capital gains taxes, allowing you to make a greater impact.

Give Through Your IRA

If you are 70½ or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to ABTA. This may help satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) while reducing taxable income.

— Matching Gifts —

Employer Matching Gifts

Many companies will match your donation, effectively doubling or even tripling your impact at no additional cost to you. Enter your employer’s name in the box below. If your employer is not listed, talk with your company’s HR department.
