Support Our Work

Many people are interested in protecting open space and “key” land parcels in their communities, but do not own the land they wish to see protected. How can you, as an interested citizen, help the White Mountains Land Trust protect our precious places?

A Gift of Cash: An outright cash donation to the White Mountains Land Trust will qualify as an IRS-recognized charitable donation, eligible for reducing income taxes on the donor. Cash donations can be made by contacting the White Mountains Land Trust (contact information below).

A Gift of Stock: You can avoid tax on capital gains for appreciated stocks held one year or more and earn a deduction equal to full market value of the stock.

A Gift of Real Estate: You can avoid sizeable capital gains tax acquired through the sale of a residence, vacation home, commercial property, or vacant lot by making a gift of this property and receive a charitable deduction for its full fair market value. An independent appraisal is required by the IRS if you wish to claim a deduction. If your land can be valued for open space, wildlife habitat, agriculture, or other conservation purposes, donation or sale of an easement may be pursued. Please see our “Conservation Easement” publication for more information.

Retained Life Estate Gift: You can make a gift of your residence, vacation home, or commercial property to be acquired by the White Mountains Land Trust while you continue to use it for your lifetime (or your spouse or another individual).

Make or Revise Your Will: A bequest gift through your will or living trust is deductible from your gross estate and can offer you and your heirs tremendous estate tax savings.

The White Mountains Land Trust is a 501(c)(3)  tax exempt organization.  Contributions are tax deductible under applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code.
