Donations are an important way to show your support of our efforts, and can be made in the following ways:
Cash Gifts – May be treated as a charitable deduction for income tax purposes.
Gifts of Stock – The value of the securities is deductible as a charitable gift for tax purposes, and capital gains tax may be avoided.
Celebration or Memorial Gifts – A gift of cash or stock in memory of a family member or friend or in celebration of a birthday, anniversary or other special event is a wonderful way to honor someone you love and also support your commitment to the environment. We will be glad to provide special recognition for these gifts if desired.
Matching Gifts – If you work for a company which has a matching gifts program, please apply for those benefits and your gift to the Land Trust will be doubled.
Gifts of Land/Property – Donations of land/property fall into two broad classifications: property that meets the Trust’s criteria for permanent conservation, or property that can be sold or traded to benefit the overall mission of the Trust.
For more information email us and a Land Trust representative will contact you.
