A bequest is a simple and popular way to partner in the Center’s future by naming Woodwell Climate as a beneficiary in your will. You don’t need to be wealthy to leave a legacy bequest, but you do need a will. Woodwell has partnered with FreeWill to assist you with this process. You will have the opportunity to leave a bequest to the Center if you so choose. It’s 100% free for you to use, and most people finish in 20 minutes or less. To learn more, visit www.freewill.com/woodwellclimate.

Donors aged 70 1/2 and older with traditional IRAs are eligible to benefit from an IRA gift. This kind of gift is usually 100% tax-free and allows you to support Woodwell’s climate science research without increasing your taxable income. For donors age 72 and older, an IRA gift can also count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), without the taxes associated with regular IRA withdrawals. Please consult your financial advisor or contact Beth Bagley with any questions.

A gift of appreciated stock or other assets allows you to claim a charitable deduction on the full market value—with no capital gains tax on the appreciation. Please contact Leah George so that we can provide the necessary information and properly acknowledge your gift.

Increase your giving impact through your employer’s matching gift program. Most employers will match any charitable contributions made by their employees, retirees and/or employees’ spouses.

If you have a donor advised fund participating in DAF Direct, you can recommend grants to the Woodwell Climate Research Center.

We are now accepting gifts of cryptocurrency through The Giving Block. Because a donation of cryptocurrency is a non-taxable event, donors don’t owe capital gains tax on the appreciated crypto that is donated. Typically, donors can deduct the fair market value of the donation on their taxes. To learn more about how donating crypto can lower your taxes, visit thegivingblock.com/faq.

Celebrate special birthdays, milestones, or the joy of community – in person or virtually – and support climate science. GoFundMe is an easy-to-use tool, an we are here to guide you through the process.

Vehicle donations are tax deductible and benefit Woodwell Climate’s mission. It’s more than cars – you can donate trucks, boats, planes, motorcycles, RVs and heavy farm equipment, too. It doesn’t matter if it’s running or not.
