More Ways to Give
Many of our donors are choosing tax-smart giving options that not only support our mission but may also offer a variety of valuable tax benefits. Click the buttons below to explore contributions of stocks and cryptocurrency, gifts from your IRA, and making a grant from a donor-advised fund.
Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Stock donations can be up to 20% more valuable than selling the stock and donating the proceeds, as most donors can claim a tax deduction for the stock‘s full value. NABA has a brokerage account ready to receive you stock donation today. Please contact [email protected] for account information.
If you are 70.5 or older, giving directly from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income — and for those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it! Making a Qualified Charitable Contribution (QCD) from your retirement account allows the donor to avoid income taxes on the distribution as well and claim a tax deduction. Checks can be sent directly to NABA at 4 Delaware Road, Morristown, NJ 07960. For questions, email [email protected].
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations. You can direct your DAF to send a check to NABA at 4 Delaware Road, Morristown, NJ 07960. For information about electronic payments or any other questions, please email [email protected]
When you include a gift to the North American Butterfly Association in your will, you make a meaningful impact on butterfly conservation for generations to come by helping us continue our work. Because of your generous support, NABA has made great strides protecting butterflies and their habitat. But our work is far from over; by listing NABA as a beneficiary, you can continue to contribute to creating a world where butterflies thrive, for the benefit of nature and people.
