Smart Giving

Make your gift go even further.

There are simple, impactful ways to maximize your support for suicide prevention. Whether through employer matching or tax-smart giving options, you may be able to increase your impact while also benefiting from potential tax advantages.

Matching Gifts

Double or even triple the impact of your donation at no additional cost to you.

Many employers offer matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees, and sometimes even spouses or retirees.

It’s one of the easiest ways to increase your support for suicide prevention.

Donor Advised Funds (DAFs)

A donor advised fund is a charitable giving account that allows you to make a contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants to organizations like AFSP when it’s most meaningful to you.

  • Give when it works best for you
  • Recommend support over time
  • Potential for tax-free growth of your charitable funds

  • Maximize the value of your gift
  • Potential tax savings
  • Support lifesaving work in a powerful way

IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)

A tax-smart way to give from your retirement savings.

If you are age 70½ or older, you can make a gift directly from your IRA to support suicide prevention. This type of gift can help satisfy required minimum distributions (RMDs) while reducing taxable income.

  • Direct transfer from your IRA
  • May reduce your taxable income
  • Can count toward your annual RMD

However you choose to give, your support helps advance research, expand education, advocate for change, and ensure people have access to support when they need it most.
