Why Does DRA Need Your Support?
DRA pursues high-impact, class-action cases on behalf of people with disabilities that other firms won’t. While DRA does receive attorney’s fees from defendants for some legal victories, these fees are not predictable or adequate to sustain DRA’s important legal work year after year. Charitable contributions ensure that DRA is able to consistently represent the most vulnerable citizens and create systematic change. Charitable contributions also ensure that DRA has resources to support building the next generation of public interest lawyers through its two-year legal fellowship program. DRA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and your donation is fully tax-deductible.
How Are Charitable Contributions Used at DRA?
Fueled by a balance of revenue from fees and charitable contributions, DRA is built to last. Attorney’s fees cover much of the organization’s overhead expenses. When you contribute to DRA, you can be assured that your contribution is applied directly to high-impact legal work that will protect the civil rights of hundreds of thousands of disabled individuals, their families, and their communities nationwide.
Stock Donation
Thank you for considering a gift of stock to support DRA. Your generosity enables DRA to accomplish our mission: advancing equal rights and opportunity for people with all types of disabilities nationwide.
Why donate stock?
Making a gift of stock is not just good for DRA, it is good for your bottom line. Donating stock to DRA allows you to realize tax benefits while supporting an organization you believe in. Giving a gift of publicly traded stock that you have owned for over one year and that has increased in value may provide better tax benefits than giving cash. Your charitable income tax deduction is equal to the fair market value of the stock when transferred so you avoid paying the capital gains tax on any increase in the current value over the original cost of the stock. You may also save on brokerage fees because you are transferring ownership rather than selling the stock.
How do you determine the value of my stock?
Gifts of stock will be recorded on the day the stock is received in our brokerage account, at the median market value on that day. You will receive a written acknowledgement to confirm receipt of your gift with the valued amount.
How do I donate stock?
