Donate Appreciated Stock or Make a Qualified Charitable Deduction
What is it about Idaho? The stunning wilderness and thousands of miles of pristine rivers? Endless opportunities for outdoor recreation? Access to clean air, clean water, and unsullied open spaces? As an Idaho-grown group, we rely entirely on the generosity of individuals, businesses, and foundations to do our work. You can show your support for Idaho—and maximize your impact and minimize your tax liability—by donating appreciated stock or making a qualified charitable distribution from your IRA to support ICL’s vital work. Your contribution is an investment in the air you breathe, the water you drink, and the lands and wildlife you hold dear.
Stocks, Bonds, and Mutual Funds
Consider making a lasting impact on Idaho’s natural beauty by contributing appreciated stocks, mutual funds, or bonds to the Idaho Conservation League (ICL). Not only does this method of giving showcase your commitment to preserving our environment, but it may also offer you substantial tax benefits by reducing your capital gains tax burden.
Making a donation of appreciated securities is a straightforward process that directly contributes to ICL’s conservation work.

Qualified Charitable Deduction from an IRA
Maximize the impact of your giving by considering a Qualified Charitable Deduction (QCD) from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA). This tax-smart strategy allows you to support the Idaho Conservation League (ICL) and may provide you with valuable tax savings, making your support for Idaho Conservation even more impactful.
Consult with your financial or tax advisor about annual limitations on QCDs to ensure you make the most of this opportunity to make a difference in our environment while managing your tax liabilities.
Making a Qualified Charitable Deduction is a straightforward process that can bring both financial benefits and positive environmental impact. Contact your financial or tax adviser to initiate the process. You’ll need ICL’s tax ID # 82-6042478
