There are many ways you can support the future of the nutrition field.

Annual Giving

By providing a generous donation annually to the American Society for Nutrition Foundation, you can help support the ongoing initiatives and operational needs to ensure success and sustainability.

Donor Advised Funds (DAF)

A donor-advised fund (DAF) provides you with a centralized charitable giving vehicle. DAFs allow individuals, families, and corporations to make irrevocable charitable gifts to nonprofits like American Society for Nutrition Foundation.

You could take an immediate tax deduction upon setting up your DAF with your local community foundation or financial institution, and that institution will make the gifts you designate. The American Society for Nutrition Foundation is grateful for all donations from donor-advised funds, and we will work with you to make the giving process simple and efficient.

To give to the American Society for Nutrition Foundation through your donor-advised fund, please provide your fund manager with the following:

Our legal name is: American Society for Nutrition Foundation Inc.
Our tax identification (EIN) number is: 45-2473558.

Honor Someone Special

Work with us to establish ASN Foundation named memorial fund to honor preeminent leaders, researchers, clinicians, or educators. Please contact Keith Dillon if you would like more information about establishing a new fund.

Memorial Gifts

Remember a colleague or send your condolences to family members. Complete the “in memory of” field on the donation form and let us know to whom the memorial acknowledgment should be sent.

ASN Foundation’s Legacy Circle

By including the American Society for Nutrition Foundation in your estate plans, you’ll unlock opportunities for groundbreaking discoveries, education, and innovation. Your generosity will empower aspiring scientists, advance cutting-edge research, and fuel vital initiatives to combat malnutrition and promote global wellness.

Special Tax-Free IRA Gifts

Those aged 70½ or older may wish to take advantage of an additional tax benefit by choosing to make their gifts using funds from a traditional or Roth IRA.

It may be possible to make charitable gifts directly from IRAs to qualified charities annually in a total amount up to $100,000 free from federal income taxation. The income tax laws of most states allow tax-free treatment as well. Check with your tax advisor.

This provision applies only to IRAs and not to 401(k)s, 403(b)s and other tax-favored retirement plans. Gifts must be made directly to the American Society for Nutrition Foundation and may not be made to donor advised funds, private foundations or supporting organizations or to fund trusts and similar life income gift arrangements.

Qualified Charitable Distributions (Also referred to as Charitable IRA Rollover Gifts)

A gift of a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) can benefit donors aged 70½ and up!*

The Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) may be an excellent way to show your support for the American Society for Nutrition Foundation and receive tax benefits in return. As you plan your required minimum distributions (RMD), consider using your IRA account to make the most of your charitable giving.

For more information, please contact us.
Please mail QCD checks to:
American Society for Nutrition Foundation Inc.
9211 Corporate Blvd., Suite 300
Rockville, MD 20850

Please note: We will need your name and address to accompany the check in order to correctly credit and acknowledge your gift.

*Be sure to check with your financial advisor to determine whether this gift plan is right for you. It’s important to consider your tax situation before deciding whether to make a charitable contribution from your IRA. Be sure to share this gift plan with your financial advisor.

Gifts of Stock or Securities

You can transfer appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares you have owned for more than one year to the American Society for Nutrition Foundation. The American Society for Nutrition Foundation sells your securities and uses the proceeds for our programs.

Physical Delivery

If you have physical securities, you may deliver them in person, by registered mail, or by courier to the ASN Foundation office. If they are registered in your name, you will need to provide an Irrevocable Stock/ Bond Power Form

Electronic Transfer Authorization (Preferred)

Your broker can electronically transfer your securities to the ASN Foundation. Contact the ASN Foundation staff for instructions.

Workplace Giving and Matching Gifts

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions or volunteer hours completed by their employees. Complete the steps provided by your employer and we will do the rest. The impact of your gift to the American Society for Nutrition Foundation may be doubled or possibly tripled! Some companies match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.
