Dear Judicial Watch Member,

As income tax time approaches, now is a good time to evaluate your
charitable giving options and plan your 2025 charitable giving goals.
As Judicial Watch is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, you might
consider taking advantage of several special ways of giving,
including:

1) MAKING YOUR BEST CHARITABLE DONATION NOW TO JUDICIAL WATCH

2) BECOMING A MONTHLY AMICUS DONOR TO HELP FIGHT CORRUPTION EVERY
MONTH

Set up an automatically recurring credit card donation to Judicial
Watch by calling JW Member Services at (888) 593-8442 or going to our
secure online donation page at www.JudicialWatch.org

and checking the “Make this a
monthly donation!” box after selecting an amount to donate.

3) MAKING A QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTION (QCD) DIRECTLY FROM YOUR
IRA

If you are 70½ or older, tax law allows you to donate up to $108,000
each year tax-free from your IRA to Judicial Watch without that
distribution being subject to federal income tax withholding. These
“Qualified Charitable Distribution” (QCD) contributions count
toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) but aren’t included
in your adjusted gross income. Even though the minimum age for RMDs is
now age 73, (or 72 if you were born before July 1, 1949), it is still
70½ for QCDs. This may be an excellent strategy for donors who can no
longer itemize charitable donations on their income taxes.

4) DONATING APPRECIATED STOCKS OR MUTUAL FUNDS

By donating appreciated securities that you have owned for more than
one year, you can deduct the full value of those shares, while also
avoiding paying capital gains taxes on those shares should you have
sold them. Call us at (888) 593-8442 to get more information about how
to donate stocks or mutual funds, and to see if your mutual funds can
be accepted.

5) ESTABLISHING A CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITY

If you are 55 or older, you could set up a Charitable Gift Annuity
(CGA) with Judicial Watch that would generate a fixed income payment
to you for life while helping Judicial Watch. A portion of your
donation is tax-deductible. Call us at (888) 593-8442 to get a
detailed personalized illustration showing how a CGA could work for
you (minimum amount $5,000). A CGA may also be funded with a Qualified
Chartable Distribution directly from your IRA. CGAs with Judicial
Watch are not available in Washington State or Hawaii.

6) INCLUDING JUDICIAL WATCH IN YOUR WILL OR OTHER ESTATE PLANS

By including Judicial Watch in your estate plans, you will leave a
legacy of freedom for your loved ones and future generations of
Americans. Contact us for more information about how you can include
Judicial Watch in your plans, including our brochure, “How to Make a
Will that Works.”


We are grateful to you for your support however you choose to donate
to Judicial Watch. If you would like to find out more about any of
these charitable ways of giving, please contact us by calling (888)
593-8442 or by replying to this email.

Sincerely,

Steven C. Andersen
