Give Today

Since 1955, the ACLU of Kentucky has been a leading institution in the fight to defend civil liberties and expand our civil rights. Your gift supports our work in courts, legislatures, and communities across our Commonwealth. The ACLU of Kentucky receives no government funding and does not charge clients for legal representation. Our work depends entirely on individual donations, grant funding, bequests, and court-awarded legal fees earned in successful cases.

Qualified Charitable Distributions

Donate via QCDs.

The ACLU-KY Foundation is eligible to receive QCDs.

Through a QCD, you can make direct transfers from your IRA up to $111,000 per year (up to $222,000 if you and your partner file taxes jointly and each has their own IRA) to the ACLU-KY Foundation. This withdrawal is not treated as taxable income, making QCD’s a tax-efficient way to give. Please consult your tax advisor if you have additional questions about QCDs.

Please note that no goods or services can be provided in exchange for a QCD. If a donor receives event tickets, meals, or other benefits, the distribution will not qualify as a QCD.

For more information about making a QCD to the ACLU-KY Foundation, contact Jill Seelmeyer at [email protected].
