The facilities at AAAS headquarters can be enriched through gifts of personal property, including books and artwork. You are entitled to an income tax charitable contribution deduction for the full fair market value of the object, provided the object's use is directly related to AAAS's broad mission of research, education, and public service.
The Internal Revenue Service requires donors to complete Form 8283 if the estimated value of the property is $500 or more; if the estimated value is $5,000 or more, an independent appraisal is required. AAAS Development will provide a tax receipt that describes the donated items. However, AAAS cannot, by law, provide a dollar value for those objects given.
If you are interested in making a gift of personal property, please contact AAAS's Director of Development Juli Staiano by e-mail or by calling 202-326-6636 or 1-800-215-1969.
