Gifts of Stock
Donations of stock or mutual funds come with tax advantages -- and when you donate securities to Seeding Justice, you can make those tax advantages work for justice. Gifts of stock or mutual funds must be received into Seeding Justice’s account in the calendar year for which you intend to take the tax deduction (in other words, by December 31st). We recommend allowing up to six weeks for the transfer.
To donate stock or mutual funds to Seeding Justice:
- Complete and return our Stock Gift Instructions form, as stock gifts come through to our account without donor information attached. Your completing and returning this form allows us to ensure that you are properly credited and acknowledged for your gift.
- Then, send a letter of instruction to your broker with the information for our account at Charles Schwab:
Seeding Justice
Schwab account #: 6112-9067
DTC #: 0164
Seeding Justice Tax ID #: 93-0691187

Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
Make a lasting impact with a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD): Act today to feed and fortify the network for generations to come.
- If you are 70½ or older, you can maximize your year-end impact through a QCD directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA):
- If you’re required to take an annual minimum distribution from your IRA, a QCD can count toward that requirement.
Gifts transfer directly to Seeding Justice and are excluded from your adjusted gross income, even if you claim the standard deduction.
Because financial institutions can take several weeks to process charitable paperwork, please contact your IRA administrator soon to make sure your gift clears by December 31.

Estate Planning with our Legacy Circle
Contribute with intentional and lasting impact, in the easiest way: become a member of the Seeding Justice Legacy Circle by including us in your estate plans.
Estate gifts—including wills, trusts, retirement plans, and insurance policies—are ideal ways to ensure that Seeding Justice has the resources we need to work in the pursuit of justice and liberation. Estate gifts allow Seeding Justice to continue to fund racial, gender, disability, economic, and environmental justice for as long as it takes. It’s a way to ensure the legacy you leave is a legacy of justice.
By joining our Legacy Circle, you help honor this vision – where legacy does not mean quantities of dollars that are left to future generations, but rather what kind of world we are leaving behind. Together, we can create a collective legacy of justice and liberation for all communities.
Donor-in-Movement Funds
Donor-advised funds—which provide a way for people with wealth to receive tax deductions and retain control of the funds—can be at odds with Seeding Justice’s imperative to redistribute both wealth and power to the communities most impacted by injustice. We turned traditional donor-advised funds on their head, creating a unique donor-in-movement program to leverage funding for the movement.
