Dear John,

Schools, supermarkets, bowling alleys—Americans should be free to live their lives in public without the threat of gunfire. Did you know that you can join us in fighting for commonsense solutions to gun violence in all its forms, from mass shootings to community violence, without giving cash?

Making a grant from your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a popular way people are helping save lives from gun violence. DAFs give you the chance to see immediate tax benefits from your contributions and then pass them along to organizations like GIFFORDS at opportune moments later on.

Nearly 46,000 Americans die from gun violence every year. As we approach the end of 2025 and do all we can to save lives, today is that opportune moment!

Other non-cash ways to give include giving from your IRA (if you are 70.5 or older), along with donating stock or cryptocurrency. These options may provide you with tax advantages such as lowering your taxable income, avoiding capital gains tax, and more.

Our partner, FreeWill’s trusted donation platform, can help you learn more about the tax advantages and complete your gifts in just minutes today.

Together, let’s build a safer future.

With gratitude,
Chris

PS: If you want your non-cash gift to benefit your 2025 tax returns, make sure to donate by December 16 so we have enough time to process it before the end of the year!
