Legacy Giving
Planned Giving
The ASID Foundation has established The Legacy Society to provide a number of Planned Giving methods. Be sure to include the ASID Foundation in your estate/financial planning. Some of the benefits of proper planning are:
- Bypassing capital gains tax on appreciated property
- Increasing your current income
- Reducing current income taxes
- Receiving a charitable income tax deduction
- Reducing federal estate taxes
- Conserving future assets for your loved ones
To learn more about planned giving and to speak to an ASID Staff Member for further information, please contact foundation@asid.org or call (202) 675-4443.
*The ASID Foundation is unable to accept gifts of equipment, gems, artwork, or real estate.
Tributes & Memorials
Tribute and memorial gifts offer a meaningful way to honor a loved one while supporting a cause close to your heart. A tribute gift celebrates special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, or achievements, while a memorial gift serves as a lasting remembrance of someone who has passed. These contributions create a legacy, helping to fund vital programs and initiatives. Donors may also request acknowledgment cards to inform families or honorees of their thoughtful gift. At the ASID Foundation, there are two types of tribute gifts:
Tribute gifts
Tribute gifts recognize a person on a special occasion, such as a birthday, wedding, or anniversary.
Memorial gifts
If you would like your loved one, or their family, to receive a special acknowledgment that recognizes the honoree and the donation, please contact one of our Trustees or e-mail us at foundation@asid.org.
Stock Donations
The ASID Foundation gratefully accepts gifts of appreciated securities as a way to support our mission. Donating stock may offer additional tax benefits while making a lasting impact. If you're interested in making a stock donation, please contact us directly for instructions and assistance with the transfer process.
Matching Gifts
A way to double your gift
Individual gifts may also be eligible for a matching contribution from a donor’s company. Many corporations and businesses nationwide offer matching gift programs. Employees, retirees and/or employees’ spouses all have the opportunity to maximize their contribution through a company match.
By taking advantage of a company’s matching gift benefit, you may be able to double the amount of your gift to the ASID Foundation. Employer matching gifts are a great way for you to maximize your personal contributions to the Foundation and to increase the impact of your gift.
Please contact your human resources or matching gifts department to see if matching gifts are offered at your company. If your company is eligible, request a matching gift form from your employer and send the completed form with your payment or receipt of payment and we will do the rest. If your employer does not participate, please contact your human resources or matching gifts department to see if you can establish a matching gifts program with the ASID Foundation.
Follow these 3 simple steps to apply for a Matching Gift:
- Obtain a matching gift form and program guidelines from your human resources or matching gifts department.
- Fill in the Employee section of the form and send it to The ASID Foundation with your donation, or if you’ve made your contribution online simply complete the form, noting your donation, and mail it to:
ASID Foundation
1152 15 St., NW
Suite 910
Washington, D.C. 20005 - We will complete the form and return it to your employer’s matching gifts office for processing. Your company will send its matching gift directly to the ASID Foundation.
