NOTE:

All benefits with a dollar-value are optional. Any benefits with a monetary value must be subtracted from the tax-deductible portion of your contribution. So, please also let us know if you’d prefer to forfeit those benefits in order to retain the full deduction for your gift.

Gifts will be recognized for one calendar year from date of gift. Please email us at info@speakeasydc.org if you’d prefer not to be listed in our programs or on our website.

SpeakeasyDC currently uses the technological services of Democracy in Action to manage its online transactions. Rest assured that your contribution is solely for SpeakeasyDC and is not used in any way to promote a political agenda. DIA offers services much like Convio and other online data management providers (only more affordable for folks like us).
