        "content": "Here\u2019s how you can set things up so friends and family can easily donate to your ABLEnow account in Virginia \u2014 plus what to share with them. ABLEnow is Virginia\u2019s ABLE account program through which anyone can contribute on behalf of the eligible individual (\"Account Owner\") without risking most means-tested benefits. ([ablenow.com](https://www.ablenow.com/resources/faqs?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## What your friends/family need to know to donate\n\nThese details and steps will help them contribute without confusion:\n\n- **Account details**: They\u2019ll need your last name, your current ABLEnow account number, and ABLEnow\u2019s routing number (routing: *052102215*). ([ablenow.com](https://www.ablenow.com/give-a-gift?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Contribution limits**:  \n   - The annual contribution limit is **$19,000** for all donors combined (this matches the federal gift tax exclusion for 2025\u20132026). ([ablenow.com](https://www.ablenow.com/give-a-gift?utm_source=openai))  \n   - If you\u2019re employed and not participating in an employer retirement plan, you may qualify for the *ABLE to Work* bonus, allowing you to accept additional contributions. ([savewithable.com](https://savewithable.com/ms/home/faqs.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Eligibility for tax benefit (for Virginia residents)**: Virginia lets contributors claim a **state income tax deduction of up to $2,000** per taxable year for contributions to an ABLEnow account. ([ablenow.com](https://www.ablenow.com/give-a-gift?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## How they can make a gift/donation\n\nYou can share these donation methods with your friends and family:\n\n1. **Online contribution**  \n   - Use the ABLEnow \u201cGive a Gift\u201d page. They\u2019ll enter your name, account number, and then pay by bank transfer or possibly by debit/ACH depending on options. ([ablenow.com](https://www.ablenow.com/give-a-gift?utm_source=openai))  \n   - After making an online gift, there\u2019s also a **printable gift certificate** they can download to let you know they made a gift. ([ablenow.com](https://www.ablenow.com/give-a-gift?utm_source=openai))  \n\n2. **Mailing a check**  \n   - Make the check payable to:  \n     > *PNC Bank FBO (your name)* *ABLEnow account number*  \n   - Mail to:  \n     > ABLEnow Customer Service  \n     > P.O. Box 2765  \n     > Fargo, ND 58108-2765 ([ablenow.com](https://www.ablenow.com/give-a-gift?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## What you (the account owner) can do to make it easy\n\nTo make it smoother for donors:\n\n- Give them your **exact account number**, your full legal name exactly as it's on the account, and the routing number above.  \n- Tell them about the **Give a Gift** page so they can easily donate online and so you can receive a gift certificate.  \n- Explain the tax benefit (if they live in Virginia)\u2014it may encourage them to contribute.  \n\n---\n\n## Things to watch out for\n\n- Contributions are **after-tax dollars**, and cannot be deducted on federal taxes (only Virginia state deduction applies if eligible). ([ablenrc.org](https://www.ablenrc.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ABLEnow-Program-Description-and-Custodial-Account-Agreement.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- Make sure contributions stay **within the annual limits** to avoid exceeding the gift tax exclusion or triggering other issues.  \n- Once money is in your ABLEnow account, only you (or your authorized representative) can decide how it\u2019s invested or used. Donors don\u2019t get control of how it's spent. ([ablenrc.org](https://www.ablenrc.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ABLEnow-Program-Description-and-Custodial-Account-Agreement.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you\u2019d like, I can put together a \u201cdonor cheat-sheet\u201d with all the info they\u2019d need to donate\u2014something you can easily send or print. Would you like me to do that?"
