Celebrities and Dictators
Fans count on celebrities to use their platforms to bring wider attention to important issues. Public figures often leverage their celebrity to support just causes or endorse organizations that seek to bring about meaningful change in society. Authoritarian regimes exploit celebrities, social media influencers, entertainment brands, and professional sports institutions to cultivate a false appearance of progress in mainstream popular culture, spread their political propaganda, and obfuscate international accountability.

Donor-Advised Funds

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a philanthropic vehicle that allows donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants from the fund over time. Donors can contribute to the fund as frequently as they wish and recommend grants to their charitable organization(s) of choice whenever it makes sense for them, allowing donors to give when they can, then grant when it is needed.

A one-time or recurring contribution from your DAF helps HRF fund our programs to protect and preserve freedom around the world. To make a donation from your DAF:

1. Contact your DAF sponsoring organization to request a grant distribution to the Human Rights Foundation.

2. Provide HRFтАЩs information:

a. HRFтАЩs EIN is: 20-2669700

b. HRFтАЩs mailing address is: 350 5th Avenue, Suite 6500, New York, NY 10118

Qualified Charitable Distributions

How QCDs Work

QCDs, also called IRA charitable distributions or IRA charitable rollovers, are tax-free gifts made from a traditional IRA that enable individuals who are 70┬╜ and order to fulfill their required minimum distribution by a direct transfer of up to $108,000 to charity. They can also be used to support multiple charities, as long as the sum of the distributions is within the $108,000 limit. Because QCDs donтАЩt increase taxable income, both higher tax rates and phaseouts can be avoided.

In addition, because QCDs reduce the balance of the IRA, they may reduce required minimum distributions in future years. QCDs are also not counted toward the maximum amounts deductible for those who itemize their giving on their taxesтАФthe $108,000 can be above and beyond those limits. For these reasons, a QCD can potentially enable a donor to give a bigger charitable gift than they could if they just donated cash or other assets. Learn more about charitable tax strategies.

How QCDs are made

Qualified charitable distributions are made directly to the eligible charity from a traditional IRA, inherited IRA, inactive Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plan and inactive Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE) IRAs. (Inactive SEP and SIMPLE IRAs are accounts that no longer receive employer contributions.) The money is a direct transfer to the charity that never passes through the hands of the IRA holder. Instead, the IRA custodian can either send an electronic transfer of funds or a check directly to the charity. For a QCD to count toward your minimum annual IRA distribution, it must be made by the same deadline as a normal distribution, which is usually Dec. 31 of the tax year in question.
