THE LWVIL Fund

The League of Women Voters of Illinois is a 501(c)(4) organization. Money given to LWVIL can be used for office supplies, staff, advocacy work, general operating expenses, and other growth initiatives. This donation is not tax-deductible, so it’s great for donors who use the standard deduction on their federal income taxes. 

The LWVIL Education Fund

The League of Women Voters of Illinois Education Fund (LWVILEF) is a 501(c)(3) organization. Donations to the Education Fund support voter education services and voter service activities. Donations to this fund are tax-deductible, perfect for those who itemize their deductions on their federal income taxes, want to make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from their IRA, or wish to donate appreciated securities.

 

There are so many options for giving

  • Recurring Gifts
    Recurring gifts are an easy way to support LWVIL. Our dedicated supporters can make weekly and monthly gifts that provide a consistent, reliable income stream, allowing us to focus more resources on our civic education, voter service,  advocacy, and lobbying efforts. Supporters appreciate the convenience of implementing an automatic recurring gift option.

  • Dedication Gifts
