With Tax Day fast approaching, now is a great time to think about how your values could shape your finances.
Did you know charitable contributions can be both meaningful and tax-smart? With a little planning now, you can support the lands and waters you love across the Inland Northwest.
Here are a few simple options to consider:
-
- Gifts of Stock or Appreciated Assets: Donating stock can help you avoid capital gains taxes and maximize your support.
-
- Donor-Advised Funds: You can recommend a grant to support conservation work using funds set aside for charitable purposes.
-
- IRA Giving: If you’re 70½ or older, you can give directly from your IRA—reducing taxable income and, if applicable, satisfying your Required Minimum Distribution.
-
- Planned Giving & Bequests: You can protect the places you love for generations to come by including Inland Northwest Land Conservancy in your will or estate plans.
While these options offer potential tax benefits, what matters most is your impact: clean water, connected habitat, and open spaces that sustain our communities.
If you’re already sitting down with your advisor this season, consider bringing these ideas into the conversation. A little planning now can make a lasting difference—for you and for the landscapes you care about.
