Q. Is my contribution tax deductible?
A. Yes, all individual contributions to Al-Anon Family Group Headquarters, Inc. (AFG, Inc.) and Al-Anon Family Group Headquarters (Canada), Inc. (AFG Canada, Inc.) are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. AFG, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. AFG Canada, Inc. is a registered charity in Canada. Al-Anon Incorporation/Taxes Policy suggests that deductibility of a contribution by any member is a personal matter.
Q. What will my contribution support?
A. The principle of self-support expressed in Tradition Seven shows our “gratitude in action.” Al‑Anon is supported by members’ financial and service contributions, together with the sale of our literature. Contributions from members around the world support carrying the message of help and hope, including creating new literature, helping members locate meetings, and conducting public outreach. Check out the World Service Office Annual Report to learn more about the activities carried out during the year.
Q. Can I leave a gift to Al‑Anon in my will, and how much can I leave?
A. Arranging a planned gift helps AFG, Inc. face future challenges and grow our fellowship to provide support to those who need it. An Al‑Anon member can leave a bequest in any amount. Please contact the World Service Office for further details.
We remain ever mindful of the many ways your generous support allows us to carry Al‑Anon’s message of hope.
