WAYS TO GIVE
There are several, tax-smart ways to support The Water Trust that can benefit our work and your finances. Explore these giving options below.
Donor Advised Funds (DAFs)
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations today. This tool automatically links with your DAF, allows you to recommend how you’d like your gift to be used and notifies The Water 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.
Gifts of Stock
Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use the link below 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, access our transfer information from the link above to notify The Water Trust of your gift.
Gifts from your IRA
If you are 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income — and for those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it! 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.
