If you are 70½ or older, you can make a tax efficient gift directly from your IRA to the National Stuttering Association. Learn how it works and make an impact today. Donor-Advised Fund Instructions Make a tax-efficient gift to the National Stuttering Association through your Donor-Advised Fund. Get Started What is a Donor-Advised Fund? A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account that allows you to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to your favorite nonprofits over time. Think of it as a charitable investment account. You contribute cash, securities, or other assets to your DAF, and those funds are invested for tax-free growth. You can then recommend grants to qualified nonprofits like the National Stuttering Association whenever you choose. DAFs have become one of the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicles in the United States because they offer flexibility, tax advantages, and simplicity for donors. How to Grant from Your DAF Follow these simple steps to recommend a grant to the NSA from your Donor-Advised Fund. 1 Log into your DAF provider Access your Donor-Advised Fund through your provider's website or mobile app (e.g., Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Vanguard Charitable). 2 Initiate a grant Look for options like "Recommend a Grant," "Make a Grant," or "Grant Recommendation." 3 Search for National Stuttering Association Many DAF providers have NSA in their database. You can search by name or use our Tax ID: 94-2420533. 4 Enter grant details Specify the amount you'd like to grant and any special instructions or designations (e.g., General Fund, Research Fund, Scholarship Fund). 5 Submit your recommendation Review and submit your grant recommendation. Your DAF sponsor will process the gift, typically within 1-2 weeks. NSA Organization Details Use this information when recommending a grant from your DAF.

Immediate Tax Deduction When you contribute to your DAF, you receive an immediate tax deduction, even if you grant the funds to the NSA later. Simple Record-Keeping Your DAF provider handles all the paperwork and provides consolidated tax documentation. No Capital Gains Donate appreciated assets like stocks or real estate to your DAF without paying capital gains taxes. Anonymous Option You can choose to remain anonymous when making grants from your DAF. Flexible Timing Contribute to your DAF when it's financially advantageous and grant to the NSA when you're ready. Legacy Planning Name the NSA as a beneficiary of your DAF to continue supporting our mission after your lifetime. Popular DAF Providers Most DAF providers have the NSA in their database. Here are some commonly used sponsors: Fidelity Charitable BNY Mellon Charitable Gift Fund Schwab Charitable National Philanthropic Trust Vanguard Charitable Community Foundations (local) Don't see your DAF provider? No problem! You can still recommend a grant to the NSA using the information provided above. Need Assistance? Our team is here to help you with your DAF grant. We can answer questions, provide additional documentation, or walk you through the process. Contact Us Frequently Asked Questions How long does it take for the NSA to receive my DAF grant? Most DAF sponsors process grants within 1-2 weeks. Some may take up to 3-4 weeks. You'll typically receive a confirmation from your DAF provider, and we'll send you an acknowledgment letter for your records. Can I make recurring grants from my DAF? Yes! Many DAF providers allow you to set up recurring grants on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. This is a great way to provide sustained support to the NSA. Will I receive a tax receipt for my DAF grant? You received your tax deduction when you contributed to your DAF. The NSA will send you an acknowledgment letter for your records, but your DAF provider's documentation serves as your tax receipt. Can I remain anonymous when granting from my DAF? Yes. You can choose to remain anonymous, and the NSA will only know the grant came from your DAF sponsor. However, if you'd like us to be able to thank you personally and keep you updated on our impact, please consider sharing your contact information. Is there a minimum grant amount? The NSA gratefully accepts grants of any size. However, your DAF provider may have minimum grant requirements (typically $50-$100). Check with your DAF sponsor for their specific policies.

Learn how Kunal Mahajan,a person who stutters, achieved career success. Get inspired by their journey. VP – Middle Market Leveraged Finance Kunal Mahajan Briefly describe your daily job duties. I work in the Middle Market Leveraged Finance group which consists of providing financing to private equity companies to finance their acquisitions. My primary duties consist of managing all aspects of the deal process which includes researching and conducting due diligence on different companies across different industries, communicating with clients, and presenting in front of credit committees to get a deal approved. As a person who stutters, share the most challenging part of your job. Presentations are the most challenging aspect of my job as a person who stutters. As the lead underwriter on a transaction, I am responsible for presenting in various committee meetings and am expected to be the expert on a transaction to get the deal approved. That pressure makes me feel that I have to give the perfect presentation and I become very anxious that my stutter will prevent me from doing so. How supported at work do you feel by your co-workers, supervisor(s) and the company itself? SMBC and my co-workers have supported me completely throughout my entire tenure with the firm. When I expressed my concerns to my managers that I was afraid I would be letting them down by stuttering during my presentations and when talking to clients, they assured me that they do not care whether I stutter or not. They said they are just focused on ensuring I am prepared for the presentations and are only concerned about what I have to say. When I told them how important becoming an effective communicator was to me, they supported me in my pursuit of programs such as Toastmasters, the Dale Carnegie Leadership Program, and getting me a private public speaking coach to work with on a one-on-one basis to improve my communication and presentation skills. Did you self-disclose your stuttering during the job hiring process? No, I never did. However, I wish I did because my bosses thought I was just very nervous during my interview because they did not realize that I had a stuttering disability. Describe how stuttering makes you a better, more valued contributor at work. Being a person who stutters and being open and authentic with my team about it has brought us closer together. They have been able to see how trusting I am of them and it has created an environment within our team where we all can be open and honest with each other and help support each other. My stutter has also made me become an employee who is very focused on helping others. Having gone through so much hardship with my stutter and having had many people who have been compassionate and supported me, that has made me want to do good for others. I am very focused on mentoring people within my team to help them grow and am involved in running initiatives at the firm for helping other people with disabilities get the support they need in the work place. What is your proudest moment at your current company? Hosting a Mock Interview Event for People Who Stutter in January of 2019 at our offices in NYC was my proudest moment at SMBC. We had 30 people who stutter from across the country come to the event to work on their interview skills. Members of the SMBC senior management team served as mock interviewers and provided interviewees feedback. I was proud that I was able to help bring together a life changing day for everyone in the room and that I work for an institution that is so accepting to people of disabilities.

I also disclose my stutter to co-workers, White House staff, and sometimes to tourists. Describe how stuttering makes you a better, more valued contributor at work. I have a different sense of compassion, patience, and understanding than all my non-stuttering co-workers. I find myself not in a rush to get information from people. I let people take their time to speak their truth because what they have to say matters. What is your proudest moment at your current company? Taking my Mom as my guest to the Secret Service holiday party in 2013 and introducing her to President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. What are your long-term career aspirations? I plan on retiring from the Secret Service before I turn 50 years old. By doing so, I’ll be able to pursue my passions and dreams to serve other people full-time. What’s your best advice for people who stutter just entering the workplace and for those in a career striving to achieve greater success? Believe in yourself. Believe in your potential. Speak your truth. You have the Americans with Disabilities Act on your side and people need to hear your story. What you want to say from your heart matters, and it can positively impact other people.
