More ways to leave your mark

There are many ways to support the mission of CLBL, and our team is eager to help you determine which gift method is the best fit for your philanthropic goals. Unrestricted gifts provide our organization with the greatest flexibility and allow us to allocate funds where needed. We ask you to consider becoming a monthly donor, or contributing an unrestricted gift in one of these ways:

Make a pledge

Support our vision for the future with a multi-year commitment to our capital campaign. When donors pledge to support us for three or more years, it provides valuable stability and revenue projections.

Donor advised funds

Giving through a donor-advised fund allows you to maximize your charitable impact while enjoying immediate tax benefits. By contributing to a DAF, you receive an immediate tax deduction now. You can also donate appreciated assets, such as stocks, to avoid capital gains taxes, growing your gift’s potential. Funds in your DAF can be invested tax-free, enabling you to give more in the future. Additionally, DAFs simplify your giving, allow for anonymity if desired, and provide an opportunity to involve family members in creating a lasting philanthropic legacy.

Workplace matching gifts

Increase your donation by using your employer’s matching gift program to support CLBL.

From your IRA

Retirees ages 70.5 and older can donate up to $100,000 tax free from an IRA each year, avoid capital gains taxes and preserve cash assets.

Planned giving

Leave a legacy when you include CLBL in your will or estate plan.

Sample will language

I [name], of [city, state ZIP], bequeath the sum of $[ ] or [ ] percent of my estate to the Center for Land-Based Learning, a nonprofit organization with a business address of 40140 Best Ranch Rd., Woodland, CA, 95776 and a tax identification number xx-xxxxxxx for its unrestricted use and purpose.
