WAYS TO GIVE

Donate Online Now
Donate today by credit or debit card, mobile pay, or bank transfer. Set up a recurring donation, or make a gift in honor/memory of someone special.

Give from Your IRA
If you are 70½ or older, you can take advantage of Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from your IRA.

Give Stock
When you donate appreciated securities directly to the Land Trust, you can potentially avoid paying capital gains tax on the increased value.

Give From Your DAF
Donor advised funds (DAFs) act like a personal fund dedicated to your philanthropic goals, managed in one place.

Matching Gifts
Many companies offer matching gift programs. Some match donations of spouses, retirees, and part-time employees as well.

Volunteer Grant Programs
Your employer may make a grant based on your volunteer hours with the Land Trust.

Give Through Your Paycheck
Thousands of companies offer payroll giving programs that allow you to donate from your paycheck.

Donate Your Vehicle
The Land Trust partners with CARS to accept donations of cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, and more.

Make a Charitable Bequest
A charitable bequest left to the Land Trust in your estate can help ensure the Sierra is available for all to enjoy forever.

Give Real Estate
Donating appreciated real estate, such as a home, vacation property, or undeveloped land can make a great gift to the Land Trust.

Other Planned Gifts
There are several ways to transfer cash or appreciated assets into a planned gift that supports you and the Land Trust.

Crowdfunding
Create a personalized fundraising page to honor your family and friends, celebrate a wedding, or make a donation in lieu of a gift.

MEMORIAL OPPORTUNITIES

Memorial Benches are not currently available for recognition/sponsorship on any Land Trust properties, nor will they be available for the foreseeable future. Any memorial bench or other recognition requests not associated with a land acquisition campaign will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and at the discretion of the Land Trust.

Please contact Danielle Williams, Director of Philanthropy at danielle@tdlandtrust.org or (530) 410-0962 to discuss your interest in a potential memorial opportunity.
