Ways to Give

Support Independent Community Journalism

For more than 50 years, the International Examiner has uplifted Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander American (ANHPIA) voices through independent, community-rooted journalism. Your support ensures that these stories remain accessible, accurate, and grounded in lived experience.

In addition to being a hub for timely, accurate, and culturally sensitive coverage of relevant ANHPIA matters, the International Examiner is a training ground for new and citizen journalists, artists, and nonprofit staff who have a passion for community. Your support contributes to a lasting legacy rooted in activism, advocacy, and professional development in the ANHPIA community.

There are many meaningful ways to support the International Examiner. Choose the option that works best for you.

  • Name the International Examiner as a Beneficiary

Naming the International Examiner as a beneficiary of a retirement account, life insurance policy, or financial account is a simple and powerful way to support our work—often without updating your will or living trust.

These gifts pass directly to IE and typically do not go through probate.

Retirement Accounts

Many supporters choose to name IE as a beneficiary of all or a portion of their:

  • IRA
  • 401(k) or 403(b)

Because retirement assets may be subject to income tax when inherited by individuals, they are often considered one of the most tax-efficient assets to leave to a charitable organization.

Request a beneficiary designation form from your plan administrator and list:

  • Legal Name: International Examiner
  • Address: 409 Maynard Ave S, Seattle, WA 98104
  • Federal Tax ID (EIN): 91-1131892
