CANA actively monitors the California legislature, mobilizes members for advocacy days, ensures CRNAs have a powerful seat at the table in Sacramento, and supports CRNA education and research. Your support helps to make this possible. Please consider making a contribution in one of the following ways.
CANA PAC
Contributions to the CANA PAC fund direct political engagement on issues affecting your practice.
CANA Foundation
Invest in the future of nurse anesthesia in California. Tax deductible as a charitable contribution.
CANA Legal Fund
Your gift supports CANA's ongoing advocacy on behalf of CRNAs statewide.
CANA Planned Giving Program
The CANA Planned Giving Program enables CRNAs and their friends and family members to plan both living and estate gifts to help CANA achieve its goals. Just as one vote makes a difference, so does one gift — whether sustaining CANA's committees (Practice, State and Federal Government Relations, Public Relations, Leadership Development) or the Board of Directors, your gift supports CANA's continued leadership in California on behalf of its members and the patients they serve.
Ways to give
- Unrestricted Gift — general support directed to any of CANA's prioritized needs.
- Restricted Gift — allocated to a specific area: operational needs, a specific committee, the CANA Legal Fund, or other designated uses (e.g., a building reserve for a Sacramento office).
- Living Gift — a one-time or recurring gift made during your lifetime.
- Estate Gift — naming CANA as a beneficiary of your estate.
- Non-Cash Gifts — appreciated stock or other property, tax-deferred assets (IRAs), or life insurance policies. Tax benefits vary by gift type; a financial professional can help choose the right structure.
- Charitable Trusts — allows continued income from designated assets during your lifetime while making a charitable commitment; tax benefits depend on trust type and personal financial situation.
Tax disclaimer
Tax Regulations are complex and constantly changing, but also provide a variety of options to maximize the benefit to both you and CANA for a gift in any amount. Please consult your tax advisor prior to making your gift to CANA. CANA does not give tax advice.
Giving limitations
Different types of gifts (cash, appreciated property, etc.) are subject to limitations relative to your current income for living gifts; deductions over the limit may carry forward to future years. Deductions for estate gifts are not limited as long as the total donation does not exceed the gross value of the estate.
