Why Donate?
When you donate to AFL, you are undergirding the ministry’s financial foundation so we have the ability to create Life-Affirming programs, resources, and events that positively impact families, children, elderly, and the unborn.
AFL’s president and Board of Directors establish annual mission driven goals and projects that are funded by your donations and we are happy to provide information about those plans upon request. Without your generous support we cannot achieve the goals or continue acting as an agent for cultural change.
All donations are tax-deductible, and 100% of your donation goes towards Life-Affirming ministry. There are a variety of ways you can donate. Explore them below.
Please note, if you are writing a check, please make it payable to Anglicans For Life, and send it to 335 Sherman Street, Ambridge, PA 15003.
My wife, Suzy, and I are recurring donors to Anglicans for Life as we support Life Issues across the spectrum from natural conception to natural death with our time, talent, and treasure. Anglicans For Life is a vital witness to not only our Anglican denomination, but also the entire pro-life movement in America. I know that our donations to AFL are put to the best possible use in advancing the Kingdom of God in the area of the Sanctity of Life.

Cashless Assets
Gifts of vehicles, underused property, or other non-cash appreciated assets are highly impactful and tax-smart methods of giving that eliminate capital gains tax and provide an official tax receipt for the full market value of the asset. Call us today.
Qualified Charitable Distribution
A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows individuals who are 70½ years old or older to donate up to $100,000 total to one or more charities directly from a taxable IRA instead of taking their required minimum distributions. As a result, donors avoid being pushed into higher income tax brackets and prevent phaseouts of other tax deductions. Some limitations apply. To discuss a QCD gift to Anglicans For Life, give us a call at (412) 749-0455.

Leave an enduring legacy for life by pledging a portion of your estate to Anglicans For Life. There is no cost to you now and you can change your estate plans at any time. Your willed gift ensures that tomorrow’s pro-lifers are equipped with the right information and resources. Call us to begin the conversation at (412) 749-0455.
