Make a non-cash gift of securities: Gifts of stock can be made to support our work protecting Wisconsin’s lands, waters, and wildlife. Benefits of gifting appreciated securities may include an immediate charitable deduction for the full market value of the stock, and avoidance of capital gain taxes that would normally be due upon sale (please consult with your tax adviser). For additional information, review our gift acceptance policy. Make a gift of stock: https://www.wisconservation.org/give/gifts-of-stock/

Make a tax-free gift from your IRA: If you are 70 ½ or older and own an IRA, you can give up to $100,000 per calendar year directly from your IRA and count your gift towards your annual required minimum distribution. Your distribution is not recognized as income on your federal income tax return. Your gift must be complete on or before December 31 of the calendar year in which you choose to utilize the IRA Charitable Rollover gift vehicle for tax purposes. You can make your gift by check, wire, or securities transfer. Please note that IRA distributions cannot be made to a Donor Advised Fund.

Consider this: Over 700,000 people buy a hunting or fishing license each year. If every person gave $2 just once, the Cherish Wisconsin Outdoors Fund would receive an influx of $1.4 million resulting in a potential disbursement of $70,000 to habitat management projects in a given year. What an amazing impact that would make!

The Cherish Wisconsin Outdoors Fund is held and managed by the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin, an independent 501c3 nonprofit organizations, with a Tax ID 39-1572034. Your donations to Cherish are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowable by law.
