CCR Thelma Newman Planned Giving Society
Become a member of CCR’s Thelma Newman Planned Giving Society! The Thelma Newman Society is named for CCR co-founder Morty Stavis’ legal secretary at the United Electrical Workers. Thelma was not a wealthy woman, but she left an estate of $150,000 to further CCR’s work. She hoped that her generosity would inspire others to join her in ensuring the promise of justice for the next generation.
Carol Smith’s story
Carol supported the Center for Constitutional Rights for more than 20 years and made a generous bequest to the organization. In her activism, Carol fought for school policies that kept college accessible and affordable for underprivileged students, joined students of color in their fight for equitable treatment within the university system, and protested South African apartheid and the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. Her vision of a just future for the oppressed people of the world lives on in our commitment to justice and dignity for everyone. Carol’s memory and legacy will continue to live on through CCR’s work for many years to come.

Beneficiary designations
Gifting assets not covered by your will — like 401(k) or IRA accounts — may help your heirs avoid unwanted taxes, even if you’re below the estate tax threshold.
