TAX RECEIPTS AND ANONYMOUS GIVING

Need a tax receipt? If you'd like to receive a receipt for tax deduction purposes, please contact us at info@stringerjournalism.org after making your donation. We'll be happy to provide documentation for your records.

Prefer to give anonymously? We respect your privacy. If you wish to remain anonymous and don't need a tax receipt, there's no need to contact us—simply complete your donation and your contribution will support courageous journalism without any follow-up required.

Your privacy matters to us. We understand that some supporters prefer complete anonymity, while others appreciate the tax benefits of documented charitable giving. Either way, your contribution makes a meaningful impact on independent journalism worldwide.

The Stringer Foundation (EIN: 33-4278131) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

DONOR-ADVISED FUNDS

You can support The Stringer Foundation through a donor-advised fund (DAF), which offers significant benefits for strategic charitable giving.

What is a donor-advised fund? A DAF is a private fund administered by a third party, created for managing charitable donations on behalf of an organization, family, or individual. DAFs have become increasingly popular because they offer donors greater ease of administration while allowing significant control over charitable giving placement and distribution.

BENEFITS OF DONATING THROUGH A DAF

• Better tax management: You can donate a large sum to maximize deductions in one tax year, then distribute charitable giving from the fund over multiple years.

• Tax-exempt growth: Any investment growth in the fund value is tax-exempt, allowing your charitable dollars to potentially grow over time.

• Donate appreciated assets: It's easy to donate Bitcoin or other appreciated assets to the fund without incurring capital gains tax, then direct grants to The Stringer Foundation.

• Privacy options: DAF donations can be anonymous if preferred, while still providing tax benefits through the fund structure.

HOW TO DONATE THROUGH YOUR DAF

• If you have an established account with a donor-advised fund provider, you can direct them to grant funds to:

For substantial donations, wire transfers can be more cost-effective than credit card processing fees. If you're considering making a significant contribution to support independent journalism, we encourage you to explore this option.

Please reach out to info@stringerjournalism.org with an inquiry for our wire transfer information. We'll provide you with all the necessary banking details to complete your donation.

Wire transfer donations are fully tax-deductible, and we'll provide complete documentation for your records upon receipt.
