MAKING A DONATION

The American Action Fund for Blind Children and Adults specializes in helping the deaf-blind, blind children, and the elderly blind. We provide services that are not available from government agencies, and we rely heavily on the work of our dedicated volunteers, and support from concerned members of the community like you. If you would like to make a contribution to the work of the Action Fund, please print out this form below and return it with your donation. We thank you for your generous support.

Gifts of Cash

Cash gifts are tax-deductible up to 50% of the donor's adjusted gross income. They are a common form of giving and easy to make. Gifts in excess of the 50% limit can be carried forward and deducted for up to five subsequent years. In most states the income tax code allows for a charitable deduction for such cash gifts.

Donations in Memory

When a loved one dies, many persons prefer to make contributions to a nonprofit organization such as the American Action Fund for Blind Children and Adults as a living memorial to the deceased. In this case, you may wish to print the name and address of the AAF in the obituary and have it announced at the funeral services.
