Peer-to-peer fundraising means you help raise support for the Akhal-Tekes among your own friends and contacts. This can be as easy as sharing the ATF's fundraising and horse sponsorship postings on social media, while adding your own endorsement.

Starting at age 72, many people with retirement accounts have to make minimum withdrawals, known as Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) every year. In many cases, these retirement withdrawals are taxable. Those taxes can be avoided by donating directly from a retirement account, to a nonprofit like the Akhal-Teke Foundation. This kind of direct donation is known as a Qualified Charitable Donation (QCD). The respected Charity Navigator website provides an overview and step-by-step guide for this very effective way to give.
The Akhal-Teke Foundation warmly welcomes support from philanthropists who have an organized "donor advised fund." To support the ATF from your donor advised fund with Fidelity, Schwab, or Mellon, just use this link. And learn more at DAF Direct, sponsored by Schwab and Fidelity.
"Planned giving" refers to the time-honored approach of making a charitable donation as a bequest, or in other words, including a charitable donation in one's will. Consult your legal advisor, and/or contact us at this link any time for more information.
