There are several other ways you can support our work, in addition to making individual donations and legacy gifts.
Donate through your DAF or IRA
We accept gifts through Donor Advised Funds to Global Witness Foundation in the US (EIN # 94-3399599) or the Global Witness Trust in the UK (charity #1117844, registered in England & Wales).
For participating Donor Advised Fund administrators, you can easily recommend a gift via DAFdirect (or alternative embedded widget) and follow the prompts.
Gifts through your retirement plan
If you are a resident in the US, donors can name Global Witness Foundation as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k) or other qualified retirement plan.
Gifts through Qualified Charitable Distributions
If you are 70 ½ years of age or older, you may donate up to $100,000 total to one or more charities directly from your IRA in the US. Because the money never passes through your hands as the IRA holder, it does not count as an increase in your taxable income – avoiding the risk of pushing you into a higher tax bracket.
For a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) to count towards your minimum annual IRA distribution, it must be made by the same deadline as your required minimum distribution, which is usually 31 December of that year.
