Other Ways to Give

You can help protect our land, our water, and our way of life - forever. A gift of stock, real estate or other personal property is an excellent option to provide lasting support to the Chelan-Douglas Land Trust while allowing you to take advantage of significant tax benefits. You can benefit through reduced capital gains, estate, and income taxes.

For more information, please contact Eunice Youmans, Executive Director, at [email protected] or (509) 667-9708. When considering a gift other than cash to the Chelan-Douglas Land Trust, we encourage you to consult with your legal or financial advisors. 

Stocks

Stocks, bonds, and mutual funds are easily donated, and can often provide you with exceptional tax savings. When you donate appreciated securities or closely held securities to CDLT, your gift will be exempt from capital gains tax on the appreciation, and you will usually receive an income tax deduction on the full value of the gift.

Gifts of Real Estate:

Gifts of real estate or other tangible personal property can be made through a bequest under your will, or as an outright gift today. Sale proceeds support our work. Gifts made during your lifetime may be able to receive an immediate tax deduction, avoid capital gains taxes, and provide immediate benefit to Chelan-Douglas Land Trust.

Gifts may be left unrestricted, to be spent at the board’s discretion. Gifts may also be restricted to our Stewardship Fund or our Endowment Fund, ensuring the care for our conserved lands forever. To make sure your goals for your gift are achieved, please contact Eunice Youmans, Executive Director, at [email protected] or (509) 667-9708.
