United Plant Savers has ambitious plans to advocate for a future where medicinal plants and their habitats are protected. We’re so grateful for supporters like you who are standing with us and finding new ways to move our mission forward. More and more donors like you are making tax-smart gifts to support us –– instead of donating cash.
Making a gift of appreciated stock, bonds, or mutual funds is easy with the links and free resources below.
Donating stocks or mutual funds to United Plant Savers is a smart and simple way to help protect the natural world and allows you to avoid the capital gains tax. If you itemize deductions, you can also take a charitable deduction for the entire donation amount. We’ve invested in this secure online tool that enables you to donate your appreciated assets in 10 minutes. Learn more and get started.
Use your IRA to make tax-free gifts that benefit our mission. If you are 70.5 or older and have a traditional IRA, you can use this secure online tool to make a donation from your IRA account. IRA gifts are generally not recognized as taxable income and if you must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) this year, giving from your IRA is a compassionate way to fulfill it. Using this online tool, you can learn more and fill out the forms from your IRA custodian in just a few minutes, or print out the forms to fill them out offline.
Easily recommend grants to United Plant Savers for tax-efficient giving. Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations. If you have a DAF, you can use FreeWill’s DAF tool.
FreeWill’s DAF tool empowers you to make a targeted impact by recommending how you’d like your grant to be allocated, communicating your wishes to United Plant Savers, sharing the details of your DAF grant, and navigating to your DAF provider. It’s also a great way to ensure our organization has consistent financial support while saving cash for immediate needs.
We now accept donations of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies! This gives us one more way to fund our work and can provide you with extra tax benefits. Donate Bitcoin, Ethereum and more to save on taxes and make a big impact.
Leave a lasting legacy. Many of our supporters leave gifts to United Plant Savers in their wills or estate plans so they can do even more to protect medicinal plants for future generations. You can, too!
Please let us know if you’ve already included us in your estate plans! Letting us know is incredibly helpful to our team and helps to make sure your gift is used the way you want it to be.
