Help protect and defend democracy. There are so many ways to support the League of Women Voters of South Carolina. Make a gift in a way that is meaningful to you.
Become a monthly donor
Our democracy needs defending every single day. Your monthly recurring donation will provide ongoing support to oppose threats to our democracy.
Employee matching gifts
Many employers will match employee donations to eligible nonprofit organizations. It’s an easy way to double your contribution to us. Contact your employer’s HR or community giving department to find out if they have a matching gift program.
Make a bequest to leave a legacy of activism
Join our Legacy Society. Including the LWVSC in your estate plans is a powerful gift that will help ensure our ability to continue fighting for democracy in South Carolina for years to come. With a bequest, you may make provision in your will, designating either a dollar amount or a percentage of your estate to the LWVSC. Bequests should be prepared and executed with your attorney's assistance.
Have you already included our League in your estate plans? Please let us know so we can thank you for your visionary dedication to the LWVSC. Contact the LWVSC treasurer.
Gifts from Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)
A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is a wonderful option for people 70 ½ and older. That's because it allows you to make a gift up to $111,000 without the distribution counting as taxable income.
This giving option is a direct contribution to the LWVSC made from your traditional IRA, inherited IRA, inactive Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plan, Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE) or, under certain circumstances, Roth IRA. It's a great option if you don't normally itemize your charitable deductions. Contact your IRA administrator to request a direct charitable distribution form.
Gifts from Donor Advised Funds (DAFs)
You can direct a donation to the LWVSC by making a grant recommendation through your DAF portal or advisor.
