Planned Giving
When you donate money to an organization you want that money to benefit someone in need. There are many worthy causes which compete for your support. Consider advice given by experts in a recent issue of Money magazine: "Consider directing some of your giving to smaller organizations and less popular causes that don't have the money for big fund-raising appeals...You may also get a better feel for the impact of your contribution if you direct at least some of your giving to organizations within your own community."
Consider Regular Giving
One of the greatest challenges for any n0n-for-profit is keeping the organization running during non-peak giving times. For this reason your gift of $25 a month can benefit Administer Justice more than a annual one-time gift of $300.

Investigate Matching Gifts
Many employers match employees gifts to charitable organizations like Administer Justice. To see if your employer does this check with your HR department or check out the list on our website at www.administerjustice.org.
Memorial Gifts
Gifts given in memory of someone special can be a powerful way of helping that person's legacy live on.
Challenge Gifts
Challenge gifts help encourage others to join in supporting Administer Justice by providing an amount up to which donations will be matched.
Life Insurance
Life Insurance can be a very effective tool for benefiting a not-for-profit organization. You may either purchase the policy and gift it to the organization or can establish a trust which can be funded through other assets for which you can make annual tax-deductible contributions toward.
Gift Annuities
An annuity is an investment contract where you can invest a certain amount of money now as a charitable tax deduction and you can receive payments back over your lifetime or a fixed period of time. These contracts are called Charitable Remainder Annuity Trusts. This can result in significant tax savings while providing hope for an at risk population.
Stock Transfers
It may be wise to transfer an appreciating asset such as stock or real estate to a not-for-profit organization to save significant capital gains taxes. The gift could be outright or is frequently done in connection with a Charitable Remainder Trust. This can result in significant tax savings, as well.
Estate Planning
One significant way to benefit Administer Justice and leave a legacy for future generation is to include the organization in your estate plan. This can result in significant estate tax savings and can serve as a powerful testimony to others. We recommend a gift of 10% for this purpose.
Involve the Family
Giving is a wonderful legacy to leave your children and grandchildren. Talking about how you support Administer Justice and how your donation is making a difference in saving marriages, supporting families in need, and providing assistance that cannot be obtained elsewhere, will make a difference in your family. It's never too late to start and no amount is too small to make a difference.
