Automatically donate your small-dollar residuals to the Foundation. With direct deposit, you can set a threshold to donate residuals below a certain amount. These residuals will automatically go to the Foundation as a tax-deductible donation; any residuals amounts you receive over the threshold will be securely deposited into your personal bank account.
To donate residuals, you will need to be signed up for SAG-AFTRA direct deposit.
Please note that checks must be current and not have expired. There is no need to endorse each check. They can be sent to:
SAG-AFTRA Foundation
c/o Development Department
5757 Wilshire Blvd. Suite PH1
Los Angeles, CA 90036
