Using the Right Words
When you’re deciding how to leave a legacy for equality, the tax consequences of a particular gift may be a consideration. If the tax consequences of your gift are not a consideration for you, a gift to HRC will give us the greatest flexibility in putting your gift to work on behalf of the LGBTQ community. Either way, your gift will be invested in the shared mission of a future of equal rights for all people.
To leave your gift to the Human Rights Campaign (non-tax-deductible), use the following language:
“I give and bequeath _______ (dollar amount, percentage of residuary estate, etc.) to the Human Rights Campaign (Federal Tax I.D. 52-1243457), located at 1640 Rhode Island Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036-3278.”
To leave your gift to the Human Rights Campaign Foundation (tax-deductible), use the following language:
“I give and bequeath _______ (dollar amount, percentage of residuary estate, etc.) to the Human Rights Campaign Foundation (Federal Tax I.D. 52-1481896), located at 1640 Rhode Island Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036-3278.”
