DONATION ONLY

Click here if you cannot attend but would like to make a 100% tax-deductible contribution.

Note: All sponsorship levels include recognition in event program, unless otherwise requested to remain anonymous.

Please note: HRW adheres to IRS regulations and donor-advised fund (DAF) granting agency guidelines. These prohibit individual donors from receiving benefits, such as event tickets or meals for themselves or for their guests, in exchange for contributions made from donor-advised funds or private/family foundations. Event tickets must therefore be purchased separately using personal (non-DAF) funds. Tickets purchased in this way remain tax-deductible, minus the fair market value of the dinner. However, any portion of a sponsorship above the full ticket value may be paid using DAF or foundation funds. If you or your guests will not attend the event and you wish to waive all associated benefits, your full sponsorship contribution may be made through your DAF or private foundation. If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected] for more information.

Please take note of Human Rights Watch's Safe Events Clause.
