More Giving Options
Honor a Loved One
Give the gift of clean water when you donate in honor or in memory of someone special.
Donor Advised Funds
If you support multiple organizations and want to simplify your charitable giving, a donor-advised fund might be right for you. You can donate to TWF through an existing giving account or create a new donor-advised fund. Consult your financial and legal advisors, or contact Executive Director Lyn Crighton to learn more.
Individual Retirement Accounts
If you’re 70 ½ or older, you can support TWF with a Qualified Charitable Distribution from your IRA. Because the money goes directly to The Watershed Foundation, your gift will be tax-free. And if you’re at least 73, a QCD may also count toward your annual required minimum distribution. It’s a smart way to put your IRA to work for healthy lakes!
Business Sponsorships
Your business can sponsor events, donate to match challenges or pledge recurring support to TWF.
Employer Matching Gifts
Many businesses will match employee donations to qualified charities, doubling their impact.
To find out if your employer will match your gift to TWF, use this handy tool or talk to your Human Resources Department.
Give Your Time
Your time is precious. From water monitoring to planting native gardens to serving on our Board of Directors, our volunteers donate hundreds of hours each year. Contact us to get involved!
