• Qualified Charitable Distributions from your IRA
If you’re 70½ or older, you can transfer up to $108,000 directly from your IRA to OCLT without paying income tax. If you’re 73 or older, your gift can also count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)—helping you meet IRS rules while making an immediate impact on OCLT’s mission.
Contact your IRA administrator to request a Qualified Charitable Distribution from your IRA to OCLT.
• Donating Appreciated Stock
When you donate appreciated stock, you can bypass capital gains taxes and receive a full fair market value deduction for your gift, which is calculated as a percentage of your adjusted gross income (AGI). It’s an easy and efficient way to leverage your portfolio growth to help advance the protection of our most important lands for the benefit of generations to come.
• Donor Advised Funds
Charitable giving through a donor-advised fund (DAF) is easy: You can make an outright gift to OCLT and/or designate OCLT to receive all or a portion of the fund value upon the termination of the fund.
• Corporate Giving
Many companies will match your donation dollar for dollar, enabling you to double your impact. Contact your employer’s HR department for a matching gift form, fill out the employee portion, and submit to OCLT.
• The Conservationist Club− Monthly Giving
Support conservation all year long by joining OCLT’s Conservationist Club with your monthly gift. With monthly gifts by credit card or electronic bank transfer, you can set up your recurring gifts in a way that’s simple and convenient. At year-end, OCLT will mail you a summary of your gifts.
