Please consider a year-end gift today to help us strengthen our collective voice. As you know, you always can give online or send us a check at P.O. Box 1188, Montgomery, AL 36101.

I also want to highlight a few other powerful giving opportunities you may not have considered:

Become a monthly donor on our website or through an electronic bank transfer. Recurring gifts are vital to sustaining our work year-round. When you choose electronic fund transfers, your bank will pay your gift automatically each month, with no fees charged to either you or Arise.
Give a gift of stock. You can get the same tax deduction as a cash gift, but owe no taxes on the stocks you donate.
Give from an IRA, 401(k) or other tax-deferred savings account. Up to $100,000 of your required minimum distribution can be tax-free when you give through a qualified charitable distribution.
Consider leaving a gift to Arise in your will. This gift allows you to continue your enduring support of a better Alabama and to ensure the longevity of our organization. Contact your financial advisor to start this process, and check out our website for some helpful sample language.

I’m grateful for your advocacy for better public policies and your commitment to building an equitable Alabama. Please reach out anytime with questions. You can email me at [email protected] or call our office at 334-832-9060.

Together, we’re making life better for families across Alabama.

With gratitude,

McKenzie Burton, senior development associate
