There are many ways to donate to develop a new generation of ethical women leaders. Your generous donations provide exceptional academics, leadership, and community development experiences to empower women to be change agents in their community.
Donating by Check
Your gift can be made by check. Please make it payable to Leadership Mission International and send to:
PO BOX 22642
Seattle, WA 98122
Credit, Debit and ACH payments
We offer a seamless process for debit card, credit card, or ACH payments. We also offer express payment options that make it even easier for you to give using Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Microsoft Pay right from our donation page.
Donating an RMD
A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a direct transfer of funds from your IRA, payable directly to a qualified charity, as described in the QCD provision in the Internal Revenue Code. Amounts distributed as a QCD can be counted toward satisfying your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for the year and is excluded from your taxable income.
Supporters who are age qualified and have a retirement savings account with a RMD can make a tax-free charitable contribution to support our work. The IRA allows an individual to make a full or partial donation from their RMD but funds must be transferred directly from the IRA to Leadership Mission International to qualify.
Donating to a Security
Contact your brokerage firm for their transfer (donation) instructions. Provide your brokerage firm with the following delivery information:

Let us know by email that you are sending a gift of securities. We will provide you a giving statement to file with your tax return.
Donating Via Donor Advised Fund (DAF)
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is an investment account with the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about. When you contribute cash, securities, or other assets to your DAF, you’ll enjoy an immediate tax deduction—and easily support LMI and other charities that matter to you, on your schedule.
You can make one-time gifts or set up recurring monthly donations.
DAFs are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle in the United States because they are one of the easiest and most tax-advantageous ways to give.
Speak with your financial advisor about setting up a DAF or distributing money to LMI. Our EIN is 46-2488422.
