(Check should be payable to Alternative Newsweekly Foundation. To ensure the donation goes to AFP, please include Augusta Free Press in the memo portion of your check)

QCD from your IRA: If you’re making a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from your IRA, ask your IRA custodian to make the distribution directly to the Alternative Newsweekly Foundation and include “for the benefit of Augusta Free Press” (or “restricted for Augusta Free Press”) in the designation or special instructions.

DAF: If you’re making a grant through a Donor-Advised Fund, it should go to the Alternative Newsweekly Foundation and include “for the benefit of Augusta Free Press” (or “restricted for Augusta Free Press“) in the grant designation or special instructions.

Augusta Free Press is fiscally sponsored by the Alternative Newsweekly Foundation, EIN 30-0100369. All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. ANF is a 501(c3) non-profit organization who supports work that helps build a more informed world.
