Gifts to AMSAT via your local United Way
Often, AMSAT members have ask if they can make a contribution to AMSAT via their local United Way drive. I have spoken with Leslie J. Talley, Director, Community and Public Sector Workplace Campaigns at the National U-W office and was informed that there are NO national agencies within U-W. Every agency that wishes to be eligible to receive donations must go through that local U-W campaign office and seek approval. With that in mind, I would encourage anyone who wishes to make such a gift to call their local U-W director and ask if they will allow such a gift. AMSAT does not have the staff to canvas the country and establish these hundreds of relationships. One alternative is to just reduce your U-W gift and write a check to AMSAT. Both are tax deductible as charitable donations. (Check with you individual tax advisor to review your specific circumstances and deductibility).
We do continue to be certified by the Combined Federal Campaign so Federal Employees can continue to make annual donations by listing AMSAT CFC #2944 on their pledge form.
