IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR YEAR-END GIVING BY MAIL

Recent changes to U.S. Postal Service postmark procedures may affect the date reflected on mailed donations. A postmark may indicate the date mail is processed by USPS rather than the date it was placed in a mailbox or dropped off at a post office.

We know how thoughtfully you plan your gift and we want to help ensure your year-end gift is recognized for the 2026 tax year as you intended.

If you plan to mail your gift, we encourage you to take a few simple steps:

  • Mail early. Allow extra time for your donation to be processed before December 31.
  • Request a postmark at the post office. If mailing close to year-end, visit a USPS counter and request a manual postmark showing the date of mailing.
  • Consider giving online. Making a secure online donation by December 31 can help avoid uncertainties associated with mail processing and postmark dates.

Your Will or Trust

Naming CHD in your will or trust is simple. Please describe CHD as “Children’s Health Defense, a California non-profit public benefit corporation.” If you are comfortable sharing your will with us, we can confirm you have the right description of CHD (and we can add you to a list of our supporters who are making bequests to CHD and will receive special information and communications from us).

It may be appropriate to ask an estate planning attorney to help you with a will (many people save money by establishing a living trust). If you have significant estate assets, there are charitable trusts that can help you save taxes and give more to charity. A good estate planner can describe these options for you.

Please note that it would present a conflict of interest for someone from CHD to be an executor or trustee of your estate. A good estate planner can help you pick a trusted individual or institution to serve as your executor or trustee. If you would like more information, we can connect you with our attorney.

Bank Transfer

Your donation will be used to further CHD’s mission of ending childhood health epidemics by eliminating toxic exposure, and restoring and protecting the health of children by eliminating environmental exposures, holding responsible parties accountable, and establishing safeguards to prevent future harm of children’s health.

Thank you for your support of CHD!
