Donate Stock to Lawyers for Good Government

When you donate to Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG), you are helping to:

  • Defend Humans Rights. From on-the-ground, direct legal assistance for thousands of asylum seekers at the border to advocating for critical immigration policy reform, L4GG’s Project Corazon provides crucial legal services to the most vulnerable asylum seekers, including those who are disabled, LGBTQ+, pregnant, or experiencing severe medical issues.

  • Fight for Intersectional Justice. In partnership with grassroots, community-led organizations, L4GG identifies, analyzes, and advocates for the reform of state-level policies perpetuating racial disparities. We have mobilized thousands of lawyers fighting for reproductive justice, transgender healthcare, and the right to bodily autonomy and health privacy for all.

  • Combat the Climate Crisis. L4GG provides direct technical and legal assistance to communities that are disproportionately harmed by the effects of climate change in order to help them access funding for green infrastructure that improves air quality, water quality, and health outcomes.

Are stock donations tax-deductible?

Yes! Stock donations are one of the most tax-efficient ways to give to charity. Your stock donation is tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law; if you pay taxes in the U.S. By making a charitable gift, you may also be eligible to significantly reduce what you would otherwise owe in capital gains taxes. 

If you provide an email, you will automatically receive a tax receipt after donating.

Why does l4GG accept stock?

With over 60% of Americans owning stock and billions in stock donated to US charities every year, stock donations can make a wide-reaching impact through philanthropy. Studies show that nonprofits that accept noncash assets typically grow 50% faster than those that do not and they grow 66% faster when they accept non cash securities such as stock.

Donating stock is also one of the most tax-efficient ways for individuals to support causes that matter to them. We are excited about what the future holds in the crypto and blockchain space, and believe that we’ve just scratched the surface of its true fundraising potential.

For every dollar you donate, we are able to mobilize 10x that amount in pro bono legal services.

Please make your gift today.
