Plan Your Legacy
Leave a legacy for generations to come! Adding the Watershed Council in your estate, will, living trust, retirement plan, or donor-advised fund, is a simple but powerful way to protect the waters you love for the next generation. Whether it is a gift now or upon your death, planned giving can save on estate taxes and earned income during your lifetime. Contact your financial planner or reach out to the Watershed Council for more information.
If you’ve already included the Watershed Council in your giving plan, please let us know so we can thank you for making such a generous commitment.
Put Stock in Your Watershed
There are three types of stock that can be donated to nonprofits: publicly-traded stocks, privately-held stocks, and mutual funds. There are key benefits of donating stock to a nonprofit. Donating stock can allow donors to avoid both capital gains and state income taxes that they would otherwise need to pay if they instead sold the stock to donate cash.
Additionally, donors can claim a charitable deduction for the current fair market value of their stock at the time of donation. Together, these benefits can represent significant tax savings for donors.
Contact your financial planner or reach out to the Watershed Council for more information.
