Gifts of stock

Donating stocks allows you to avoid the capital gains tax and, if you itemize deductions, you can also take a charitable deduction for the entire donation amount. Contact us at donations@cal-ipc.org for our brokerage information.

Gifts from your IRA

If you are 70.5 or older and have a traditional IRA, you can make a donation from your IRA account. IRA gifts are generally not recognized as taxable income and if you must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) this year, giving from your IRA is a compassionate way to fulfill it.

Gifts from your Donor Advised Fund

Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations. If you have set up a DAF, you can use it to donate to Cal-IPC, ensuring our organization has consistent financial support while saving your cash assets for immediate needs.

Sponsor the Symposium

Sponsoring the Symposium offers a unique opportunity for an organization to present its work to the Cal-IPC community, while providing vital funds to produce the event and help us share the latest in land management. Some individuals choose to sponsor the Symposium as well.

Create a legacy

Create a living will or trust to take care of your family and support causes you are passionate about. We’ve made it easy! Cal-IPC is partnering with FreeWill to provide a simple and secure way to leave a legacy. If you have already included Cal-IPC in your estate planning, thank you!
