Money does not grow on trees, but you may have securities investments that have grown substantially. As with any gift to the Western Environmental Law Center, your contribution of stocks, bond, or mutual funds will be put to work protecting and restoring the land, sky, water, wildlife and culture of the West.

Contributions to the West Environmental Law Center are tax deductible, and gifts of appreciated securities (that have been owned for at least twelve months) can be deducted for their fair market value on the date the gift is made. You can use this deduction, although there are currently tax provisions to carry over any excess. Please consult with your stock broker or other tax adviser for more information on how you can benefit by donating securities.

Your stock broker can transfer the securities directly to our account, and we will send you verification of your contribution for tax purposes. To make a stock contribution or for more information please contact your financial advisor, or our development staff at 541.485.2471.
