If you have questions about mailing a donation please contact Heidi Siesfeld, Director of Development, at hsiesfeld@probonopartner.org.
You can support Pro Bono Partnership (PBP) and receive tax benefits by making a charitable contribution directly from your IRA. The IRA Charitable Rollover provision allows you to transfer up to $108,000 annually (2025 amount) from an IRA directly to qualified charities without being taxed on the income.
Donors age 70½ may make a QCD directly from your IRA to PBP.
Beginning in the year you turn age 73, the QCD can be used to satisfy some or all of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)
The entire amount of your gift goes to PBP and you pay no income tax on the money. You can use a QCD to make new gifts or to pay pledges to PBP.
Please do not wait until the end of the year to arrange for a distribution. IRA plan administrators may take several weeks to complete the transfer and you want to make sure your gift is received by PBP no later than December 31st.
You can also use your IRA to create a legacy gift. When you designate PBP as a beneficiary of your IRA, your gift will pass tax-free to PBP after your lifetime. If you have questions about how to give through a QCD, ask your tax advisor or contact Heidi Siesfeld, Director of Development, at hsiesfeld@probonopartner.org.
Stock gifts of appreciated stock can yield tax benefits because they are deductible from your income tax at their fair market value. This kind of gift avoids capital gains tax that would otherwise result from selling the stock and then using the cash to make your gift to the Partnership. Gifts of appreciated assets are deductible in amounts up to 30% of adjusted gross income, and any excess deductions may be carried over for use in the future.
When you give stock it is important that you contact us to indicate that a gift of stock is being made to Pro Bono Partnership, what type of stock, and the purpose for which it is intended.
Gifts of stock/securities may be deducted at full market value on the date of transfer to the Partnership.

A bequest is a gift that an individual leaves to a nonprofit in their will or living trust. It’s one of the easiest and most flexible ways for someone to create a lasting impact—without affecting their financial situation during their lifetime.
Why donors choose bequests:
Bequests often create transformational long-term support—funding scholarships, programs, research, and other initiatives for years to come. Many donors appreciate knowing their values will continue to make a difference long after they’re gone.
