The season of giving is a perfect time to think beyond traditional presents. An ABLEnow contribution is a thoughtful way for family and friends to celebrate the holidays—or any milestone—while helping build financial security and independence that lasts all year long.

Here are five reasons why ABLEnow contributions make a great gift from family and friends.

1. Timeless and reliable. Money in your ABLEnow account is available when you need it most. There’s no requirement to “spend down” or an expiration date like a gift card. Your funds are invested for the future, helping you prepare for whatever comes next.
    
2. Flexible and personal. An ABLEnow account can be used for a wide range of qualified disability expenses, from everyday essentials like transportation to long-term goals such as education or assistive technology. It’s a gift that supports choice and independence.
    
3. Clutter-free and convenient. No wrapping required! An ABLEnow contribution is a meaningful way to celebrate without adding more stuff. It’s perfect for family and friends who value practical, lasting gifts.
    
4. Smart for taxes. Depending on your state’s laws, the gift giver may qualify for a state income tax deduction. For account owners, earnings grow tax free, and contributions may help qualify for the Saver’s Credit.
    
5. Simple and secure. Contributions can be made online or by mail, and funds don’t affect eligibility for certain means-tested disability benefits. It’s an easy, thoughtful way to invest in the future.

Anyone can contribute to an ABLEnow account online or by mail. Share the Give a Gift webpage for step-by-step instructions and printable gift certificates.
