GIVE TO TLC
WAYS TO GIVE IN THE FUTURE
Charitable Trusts are an option for donors who want income for life, bypass of capital gains tax on stock or real estate, reduced taxes and the satisfaction of providing for a good cause like TLC.
MORE WAYS TO GIVE
Donate Stock
DONATE STOCK
By giving appreciated securities you can avoid paying capital gains taxes, receive a tax deduction on the full value of the gift, and support TLC at a lower cost to you than if you made a cash gift. To donate stock, contact Amber Arseneaux at 512.301.6363 or amber@texaslandconservancy.org.
Employer Matching
EMPLOYER MATCHING
Many companies offer programs that will match your charitable gift, and in some cases double or triple your gift amount. Some also match gifts for retirees, members of the board or spouses. Your employer might offer this benefit—ask them today!
Give From Your IRA
GIVE FROM YOUR IRA
People age 70½ and older can donate up to $100,000 directly to TLC from their individual retirement accounts (IRAs) without it being counted as taxable income. The gift can be used as your required minimum distribution. Your financial institution needs to issue the check directly to us, and the gift must be made by December 31 of the tax year. Contact your provider or visit their website to obtain a simple form to fill out.
Leadership Gift
LEADERSHIP GIFTS
Help TLC achieve its mission of protecting Texas land, water, and wildlife habitat and inspire others with a leadership gift. Leadership gifts can be designated for a specific project, or can be used to inspire other gifts by providing a matching incentive.
For more information on how you can support the TLC mission through a leadership gift, contact Amber Arseneaux at 512.301.6363 or amber@texaslandconservancy.org.
In-kind Gifts
IN-KIND GIFTS
In-kind gifts are donations of goods, like vehicles and wading boots, or services. Donated items can be new or gently used. If you have an in-kind gift in mind, please contact us to see if it matches our current needs! If you would like to donate an item or learn more about in-kind gifts, please contact Amber Arseneaux at 512.301.6363 or amber@texaslandconservancy.org.
