The AANA Foundation has 501(c)(3) tax exempt status in the United States and all contributions (excluding raffles) are tax-deductible. When a gift/service is received after making a donation, a tax deduction may be claimed for the amount above the fair market value of the gift/service.
The Foundation is happy to accommodate individual donor’s giving preferences. Gift commitments can be fulfilled in annual, quarterly, or monthly installments.
Yes. Depending on the type and amount of the gift, donors can specify how the gift will be used. Some donors have done this by sponsoring scholarships that specifically fund anesthesia education. The majority of our donors contribute to the Annual Giving Campaign, allowing the Foundation greater flexibility in directing the gift to help CRNAs/nurse anesthesiologists conduct research and support residents. Additional designation opportunities can be found on the Foundation’s secure donation website.
The AANA Foundation’s fiscal year is September 1–August 31.
The Foundation takes pride in respecting the privacy of its donors and typically does not request additional donations from individuals the same year that a gift was received. The Foundation’s fiscal year is not concurrent with the calendar year. If a donation is requested twice in the same calendar year, it is highly likely that it is in the Foundation’s new fiscal year.
