Tax Smart Giving
Make your donation go further with tax-advantaged giving
Learn how your investment assets can maximize your savings and strengthen local conservation.
Donate stock
Making a gift of appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares is an easy and powerful way to contribute to land conservation. Benefits include income and capital gains tax savings.
Use this tool to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you can get the tax savings you deserve. If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, you can access our transfer information and notify Sonoma Land Trust of your gift.
Donor-advised funds
A donor-advised fund (DAF) allows you to support causes you care about while maximizing tax-benefits in a flexible, easy manner. This tool automatically links with your DAF and notifies Sonoma Land Trust of your intentions. Using the link below to grant from your DAF also saves us a lot of time, so thank you! It’s a great way to ensure consistent financial support while saving cash for immediate needs.
Sonoma Land Trust is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our taxpayer identification number is 51-0197006.
Qualified charitable distributions
If you are 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income—and for those over 73, you are required to take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from your IRA. The portion of your RMD that you allocate as a gift in the form of a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is not subject to federal income taxes. By using the link below to give from your IRA, you can auto-complete your paperwork and we can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts.
