Ensure your legacy while helping to secure the financial stability of Sustainable Northwest with a gift from your estate. Making a gift through your estate can cost little or nothing now, and can provide both long-term support for the programs you love while providing tax benefits to you or your loved ones.

Help Sustainable Northwest meet our long-term financial goals with planned annual gifts. Strategize with your financial advisor on how to map out a giving plan to support a specific program or cause that matters to you. SNW can help you identify how your donation will be used to strengthen the organization and ensure our presence in the region.

Support Sustainable Northwest by giving through your donor-advised fund (DAF). DAFs come via your investment firm (Schwab, Fidelity, Vanguard, etc) or a local community foundation (Oregon Community Foundation, Seattle Foundation, etc). DAFs provide flexibility in how — and when — you make charitable gifts. They also make tax time simpler for you and your tax preparer.

If you would like to contribute using a DAF, simply contact your investment advisor or local community foundation and designate a gift for Sustainable Northwest. Our Tax ID is 93-1152222.

You can also use the DAF Direct website.

If you are over 70.5, you can make a tax-free donation from your IRA account that will count toward your Required Minimum Distribution. Ask your plan administrator to send your desired donation amount directly to SNW via check or electronic transfer.

Did you know you can support Sustainable Northwest in one of the most tax-efficient ways possible by donating appreciated stock?

When you donate stock that has increased in value, you can avoid paying capital gains taxes and deduct the full fair market value of the gift from your taxable income. This allows you to maximize your impact without increasing your out-of-pocket expenses. Contact us directly or click here to learn more.
