TO GIVE Each year, Bay Area Legal Aid provides free legal services in civil matters to thousands of clients who cannot afford an attorney. Your generous donations have supported this effort. The most common form of gift is a check. Make checks payable to Bay Area Legal Aid.
Gifts are tax deductible as provided by law.
Just fill in Bay Area Legal Aid and the designation number 3827 on your pledge form. If you own appreciated stock or other securities that you have held for at least a year, a gift of stock offers multiple benefits. If you choose to buy a new policy, annual premiums paid by the donor on such policies are tax deductible. Or, you may simply name BayLegal as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy that you now carry. To receive a charitable income tax deduction you must make BayLegal the owner of the policy.
