Smart Giving Options: Maximize Your Impact & Benefits
Discover tax-advantaged ways to make a significant contribution today.
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs): Recommend grants to us directly from your DAF. It’s a convenient way to fulfill your charitable goals with funds already set aside, potentially maximizing your tax benefits.
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from IRAs: If you’re 70½+, make a tax-free distribution directly from your IRA. These gifts count towards your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) without being taxed as income.
Gifts of Stock & Appreciated Securities: Donate appreciated stocks (held over a year) to avoid capital gains taxes and receive a charitable income tax deduction for the fair market value. It’s often the most tax-efficient way to give.
Long-Term Impact: Leave a Legacy
Beyond immediate support, you can secure the future for raptors for generations to come. By including Teton Raptor Center in your will or estate plan, you create a lasting legacy of conservation. Planned gifts, like bequests or beneficiary designations, offer significant future contributions while potentially providing tax benefits for your estate.
Your Generosity: Fueling a Brighter Future
We are committed to transparency and efficiency, ensuring your gift has the maximum possible impact on the birds and the environment we serve. Thank you for being a vital part of our flock. Together, we can ensure the skies remain vibrant with the majestic wings of raptors for generations to come.
