Move2Learn is a recognized 501(c)(3), so you will receive the maximum tax deduction allowed by law for your donation. Cash, credit card, and publicly traded securities held long term can easily be used to support our mission. A gift of appreciated securities provides you an immediate charitable deduction for the full market value while avoiding capital gains taxes typically due upon sale.

    Tax Credits

    As an approved organization with the Virginia Department of Education, Move2Learn can offer you a 65% tax credit for your donation, to be applied to your Virginia state income taxes, minus the fair market value for any benefit received (e.g., FMV of event tickets). This is a tax credit, not a tax deduction – directly reducing your total Virginia tax bill.

    Your donation will directly impact our students and the tax credit benefit means your gift will have less of an impact on your pocketbook! Tax credits are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you wish to take advantage of tax credits, please email our Director of Operations, Danielle Seiger, at [email protected] so we can provide you with additional information and the necessary form. 

    By Check

    Please make checks payable to Move2Learn. Mail to Move2Learn, 107 S. West St., #545, Alexandria, VA 22314. If you would like to designate the donation to a specific program or in memoriam, please include a note in the memo line of your check or include a note with your donation.

    Transfers

    Please notify Move2Learn prior to any transfer gift in writing, by emailing our Director of Operations, Danielle Seiger, at [email protected]. Instructions for each type of gift are detailed below.

    Transfer of cash

    ACH and wire transfer information available upon request. Please include any special designation and the amount of the gift in your communication and we will contact you with specific instructions.

    Transfer of stock, corporate bonds, and other marketable securities

    Please include the name of the bank or brokerage firm and a description of the shares, including the stock symbol and number of shares being donated, in your communication and we will contact you with specific instructions.

    IRA Charitable Rollover (Qualified Charitable Distribution)

    If you are age 70½ or older, you can direct up to $100,000 each year from your traditional IRA to a qualified charity—tax-free. For individuals age 73 and older, these Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) can also count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for the year. Because the funds go directly to an eligible charitable organization, the distribution is not included in your taxable income.

    To make a QCD to Move2Learn, please contact our Director of Operations, Danielle Seiger, at [email protected] for instructions, then work with your retirement fund manager to complete the gift.

    Legacy Gifts

    Planned gifts allow you to make provisions for future philanthropy, often while providing tax advantages now or in the future. Planned gift options include:

    • Bequest in a will or living trust
    • Beneficiary designation on a retirement account: IRA, 401K, 403B
    • Beneficiary designation on a brokerage or other financial account 
    • Gift of life insurance: either a current gift or a future beneficiary designation

    We strongly encourage you to meet with your professional advisor(s) prior to executing a planned gift.Qualified Charitable Distribution
