Donate Securities
Under IRS rules, the value of a gift is usually eligible as an income tax deduction by the donor. Donating stocks or mutual funds that have gone up in value may be especially worthwhile to the donor. Example: You bought a stock more than one year ago for $10,000. Today, its market value is $18,000. If sold, you would owe a capital gains tax on the $8,000 profit to the federal government. If donated to World Bird Sanctuary, the original $10,000 PLUS the earned $8,000 could be written off without penalty. Learn more
Planned Giving
World Bird Sanctuary receives no state or federal funding and relies entirely on donations from members of the public to achieve our mission. You can help World Bird Sanctuary to continue to successfully achieve our mission through planned estate giving. Your legacy gift will make a permanent statement of your philanthropic values. Your donation will help us to achieve our mission by engaging young Americans in responsible environmental stewardship for the world’s future generations through our environmental education and protection efforts.
