Please consider becoming a Sustainer of Justice. Recurring monthly or quarterly donations help Southern Legal Counsel better prepare for the challenges of our work.

You or your organization can be a sponsor for one of SLC’s many activities. Sponsors will receive prominent recognition at events and recognition on our website and on social media.

Please consider Southern Legal Counsel as a recipient for Cy Pres and court settlement awards. We can assist in drafting Rule 23 fairness memos, settlement language and other documents. As a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, SLC is eligible to receive such funds. SLC is especially appropriate as a designated recipient to serve special populations, as we have over 40 years of improving the lives of vulnerable populations and creating lasting positive change.

By donating appreciated stocks or other securities, you can avoid capital gains tax as well as receive an income tax deduction for your contribution.

Once you turn 70 ½, you can use the IRA charitable rollover provision to make a tax-free donation to Southern Legal Counsel. Tax laws allow you to transfer up to $100,000 to a charitable organization like Southern Legal Counsel without paying income tax on the distribution. You do not need to itemize on your tax return to receive the tax free benefits as no taxable income is generated. The charitable rollover can also satisfy all or part of the required minimum distribution.

Naming Southern Legal Counsel as a beneficiary of your estate is an impactful way to assist SLC and support its work. There are also a host of tax benefits to planned giving, making your contribution that much more powerful.
